Loading a custom paper size

You can print on special media such as thick paper, envelopes, transparencies, and labels.

Note:

Since the quality of any particular brand or type of media may be changed by the manufacturer at any time, Epson cannot guarantee the quality of any type of media. Always test samples of media stock before purchasing large quantities or printing large jobs.

The print quality of envelopes may be irregular because different parts of an envelope have different thicknesses. Print one or two envelopes to check the print quality.

Caution:

Do not use window envelopes. The plastic on most window envelopes will melt when it comes into contact with the fuser. Do not print on the flap side of envelopes. Doing so may cause paper jams and could damage the printer.

Note:

Depending on the quality of envelopes, the printing environment, or the printing procedure, envelopes might be wrinkled. Make a trial print run before you print on a lot of envelopes.

When loading envelopes, you should make paper settings as shown below:

• Make settings on the Basic Settings in the printer driver.

Paper Size:	IB5, C6, C10, DL, or C5
Paper Source:	MP Tray (up to 5 sheets)
Paper Type:	Thick

Please note the following when handling this media.

• Do not use an envelope that has glue or tape on it.

• Use ungummed, open-sided envelopes with a double inside side seam. Note that some envelopes may still be unusable depending on their quality.

• Place the stack of envelopes on a flat surface and fully flatten them so the flaps do not spring up before loading. Loading envelopes with unflattened flaps may cause a paper size error.

• Fan the stack of envelopes before loading.

• Load envelopes with the short edge first as shown below.

Caution:

Make sure that the minimum size of envelopes meets the following size requirements: Height: 148 mm Width: 100 mm 1. Min. 148 mm 2. Min. 100 mm

You can load up to 10 labels into the MP tray at a time. However, you may need to feed some labels one sheet at a time, or load them manually.

Note:

Depending on the quality of labels, the printing environment, or the printing procedure, labels might be wrinkled. Make a trial print run before you print on a lot of labels.

When loading labels, you should make paper settings as shown below:

• Make settings on the Basic Settings in the printer driver.

Paper Size:	A4 or LT
Paper Source:	MP Tray (up to 10 sheets)
Paper Type:	Thick

Note:

Load labels in the MP tray long edge first with the print side face-down. You should only use labels designed for laser printers or plain-paper copiers. To prevent the label adhesive from coming into contact with printer parts, always use labels that completely cover the backing sheet, with no gaps between the individual labels. Press a sheet of paper on top of each sheet of labels. If the paper sticks, do not use those labels in your printer.
