How to / Printing
You can use many kinds of media including plain paper, envelopes, labels, and overhead projector transparencies.
The type of paper you use in your printer can affect the quality of the printed output. The smoother the paper you use, the smoother and sharper the printing looks.
For best results, store your paper in its original wrapper. The printout may be marred by moisture absorbed in the paper. Do not store paper in a humid or damp environment.
 | Note: |
 | Since the quality of any particular brand or type of paper may be changed by the manufacturer at any time, EPSON cannot guarantee the quality of any type of paper. Always test samples of paper stock before purchasing large quantities or printing large jobs. |
Following are some recommendations for selecting paper and other print media for the printer.
Use only labels designed for laser printers or plain-paper copiers. Use the MP tray or the lower paper cassette to print on these materials.
To prevent the adhesive from coming in contact with printer parts, always use labels that completely cover the backing sheet so that no gaps occur between the individual labels.
Test the label sheet for leaking adhesive by pressing a sheet of paper on top of a sheet of labels. If the paper sticks to the label sheet when you lift it off, do not use the labels.
Printing quality on envelopes may be irregular because different parts of an envelope have different thicknesses. If the printing is too light, adjust the print density in the printer driver or on the printer's control panel. When printing on envelopes, you can use the MP tray or the lower cassette. However, to print volumes of envelopes quickly, use the optional Envelope Feeder.
You can use colored paper as long as it meets the weight limits shown in the paper specifications. Do not, however, use coated paper (paper to which a clear or colored coating has been added).
You can use overhead projector transparencies and adhesive drafting film if they are made for use with plain-paper copiers or laser printers. Load these media into the lower cassette or the MP tray.
 | Caution: |
| Printing on transparencies made for color laser printers or photocopiers may damage your printer. |
