2-7 Using Paper and Other Media|2-7 Selecting the Media Type Setting When you print, it’s important to select an appropriate Media Type setting for the type of paper you’re using. The tables on the following pages list recommended settings for many EPSON papers, depending on whether your printer uses Photographic Dye, Archival ink, or UltraChrome ink. In some cases, you may want to select a different setting from the recommended one, depending on the specific effects you want to achieve. If you’re unfamiliar with the paper you’re using, you should experiment with different settings to determine which one works best. Once you’ve selected the closest Media Type setting, you can fine-tune how your image is printed using the Paper Configuration menu. This lets you adjust certain settings—for example, the paper feed increment or the intensity of the MicroWeave pattern. You can access these settings from the printer’s control panel, as described on page 2-28; if your printer uses UltraChrome ink, you can also access similar settings from your EPSON printer software (see page 3-15 for Macintosh or page 4-10 for Windows).Note Select the Media Type setting as described in step 3 on page 3-4 (for Macintosh) or step 3 on page 4-2 (for Windows).

2-9 Using Paper and Other Media|2-9 * Select the Media - 1 setting if you want to print on this material in high ink duty mode. In addition to the Media Type settings listed above, there are five additional settings you can use to achieve higher color density (Archival ink only): Media-1, Media-2, and Media-3 let you print with higher ink density on selected outdoor media. This results in a richer, brighter color gamut for your prints. Each of these media types is optimized for use with certain EPSON media (some of which may not be available in your area). High Duty Media-1 and High Duty Media-2 let you print with higher ink density on indoor media, such as point-of-purchase displays. Compared to other media types, High Duty Media-1 increases the ink duty by 25%, and High Duty Media-2 increases the duty by 50%. You may have to experiment to test the effect on different media.

2-11 Using Paper and Other Media|2-11 Using Roll Paper The printer comes with one 2-inch and one 3-inch spindle, so you can have two types of roll paper available for printing at all times (with manual switching). Switching from one paper roll to another is a simple process. High-tension spindles (available in both 2-inch and 3-inch diameters) are recommended options for printing on certain media such as EPSON Synthetic Paper, Smooth Fine Art Paper, and Textured Fine Art Paper; the higher tension keeps the paper from unrolling during use. Other options for using roll paper include the Automatic Take-up Reel System (see your online Reference Guide for operating instructions) and the Manual Media Cutting System (for use with heavy media). Loading Paper onto the Spindle To load roll paper onto a spindle, follow these steps: 1. Slide the removable paper stop off the left end of the spindle. 2. Position the roll so the paper unwinds as shown: 3. Slide the roll onto the spindle so it fits securely against the paper stop. 4. Slide the removable paper stop back onto the spindle and insert it into the end of the roll. Note You can purchase roll paper spindles and other options from the EPSON Pro Graphics web site (http://prographics.epson. com) or your authorized EPSON dealer. See page 2 for additional information.
2-12 2-12|Using Paper and Other Media Loading Roll Paper for Printing Once roll paper is placed on the spindle, follow these steps to load it in the printer: 1. Open the printer’s roll paper cover. 2. Insert the white end of the spindle into the right mounting bracket inside the printer. 3. Place the black end of the spindle into the corresponding left mounting bracket inside the printer. Note When both 2-inch and 3-inch spindles are loaded, place the 3-inch spindle in the upper position and 2-inch spindle in the lower position. This keeps the paper being fed from the upper roll from rubbing against the lower roll. Be sure to wrap one of the roll paper belts around the roll you’re not using. See page 2-18.Place the white end on the right Warning Never attempt to load two 3-inch spindles at the same time. They won’t fit and could roll out of the mounting brackets.
2-13 Using Paper and Other Media|2-13 4. Press the Paper Source button to select either Roll Auto Cut or Roll Cutter Off . Choose Roll Auto Cut if you want the paper to be cut automatically after each page is printed. Choose Roll Cutter Off if you’re printing on canvas, vinyl, or other heavy media (see list below). Media that is too thick may damage the cutter. Also choose this setting if you’re using the optional auto take-up reel, or if you want to print a series of pages and keep them together for later cutting. Always select Roll Cutter Off if you’re printing with one of these EPSON media: When done printing, cut the paper manually using scissors or the optional Manual Media Cutting System (see page 2 for ordering information).
