may affect print quality. Handle media by the edges or use cotton 
gloves.
Be careful not to bend or scratch the paper.
Always choose the correct Media Type setting in your printer driver

page is printed. 
Do not leave roll paper loaded in the printer when it is not in use.
Choose  if you want to print a series of pages and keep them together 
for cutting later on.
Choose  if you’re printing on canvas or other heavy media. Media 
that is too thick may damage the cutter. Use of Epson’s optional Manual 
Media Cutting System is recommended. See page 12 for more 
information.
