Printing Tips for EPSON Media
Follow these tips for using and storing printing materials:
•
Avoid touching the printable surface of the paper or other media with
bare hands. Fingerprints may affect print quality. Handle media by the
edges or use cotton gloves.
•
Always choose the correct print mode setting in your print options
before you send your job.
•
Always select the correct paper source (roll or sheet) from the printer’s
control panel.
•
Keep unused media in its original packaging and store it in a cool, dry
place to avoid a decline in quality. Avoid storing media or printouts
where they will be exposed to high temperature, humidity, or direct
sunlight.
