Using Special Paper Configurations

When you choose a media type in your Epson printer software, the driver
automatically determines the best settings for your paper. However, you may

situations, you can create a special configuration, or group of settings, for
each paper type (up to ten types) and select the desired configuration
whenever you print on that particular stock.
