Setting the Paper Tray Levers

For best printing results, you need to set the media type and paper size levers
correctly when you load paper. You should also use the media type and
paper size cards to identify the paper loaded in each tray. This helps all users
to be aware of what's in the printer at a glance, and also prevents anyone
from inadvertently changing the lever positions.
The following table identifies the media type settings for EPSON media and
