Selecting Paper and Other Media
You can print on most types of coated, glossy, plain paper, and other media.
The printer comes with two spindles, so you can have two types of roll paper
available for printing at all times (with manual switching). You can also
purchase an optional 3-inch spindle, which allows you to use roll paper with
a 3-inch core.
High-tension spindles are also available (in both 2-inch and 3-inch
diameters), recommended for media such as EPSON Synthetic Paper and
Fine Art Paper.
The following table shows the requirements for paper you can use in the
