EPSON Color Laser Coated Paper
EPSON Color Laser Coated Paper is designed specifically for this printer. This media is thicker than EPSON Color Laser Paper and produces glossier and higher quality printing. To print on EPSON Color Laser Coated Paper, choose Coated or Coated (Back) as the Paper Type setting. This setting is optimized for printing on coated paper, but paper can only be fed from the MP tray. If you want to feed coated paper from the standard lower cassette, the optional 500-Sheet Paper Cassette Unit, or the optional Large Capacity Paper Unit, set the Paper Type setting to Normal. However, this setting produces printouts that are inferior in quality to those printed with the Coated or Coated (Back) setting.
