Using The Paper Configuration Menu - Epson 10600 Printer Manual

2-28 | Using Paper and Other Media
Note
If you're using Ultra-
Chrome ink and printing
from the EPSON printer
driver, you can also select
and save paper
configuration settings
from there. The printer
uses those settings,
unless you override them
by selecting paper
settings from the control
panel.

Using the Paper Configuration Menu

When you choose a media type in your EPSON printer software, the driver
automatically determines the best settings for your paper. However, you may
want to fine-tune how the printer handles various papers—especially if you
use non-EPSON paper, a paper not supported by the driver, or if you're
printing from a third-party RIP station. You can use the printer's Paper
Configuration menu to create customized settings for your paper.
If you want the settings to affect all your print jobs, follow the steps below.
Or you can create and save a group of settings for each type of paper you're
printing on (up to 10 types), and select them whenever you print on a
particular stock (see page 2-29).
