Displays the registered setting name.
You can select the media type that is the closest to the paper you are
using. Select No Paper Selected if you do not want to specify a specific
paper type.
However, in Epson Color Calibration Utility you cannot use No Paper Se-
lected as the Select Reference Paper setting. Make sure you select one
of the other paper types.
The platen gap setting value (space between the print head and the pa-
per) is selected according to the paper selected in Select Reference Pa-
per. Normally, just use the selected setting. Select a wider setting if print
results are scratched or smudged. This setting is not affected even if you
change the Platen Gap in Printer Setup on the Setup menu. If you feel
that effect of Head Alignment was not sufficient, change to a narrower
setting.

It is important to choose the appropriate amount of suction for the pa-
)
per used in order to maintain the correct distance between the paper
and the print head. Choosing too high a value for thin or soft paper will
increase the distance between the paper and the print head, causing
print quality to decline or preventing the paper feeding correctly. In
such cases, you will need to lower the paper suction.
The suction power is weakened when the parameter is lowered.
