Note
It's a good idea to keep a
list describing your paper
profiles.

Optimizing the Settings for Your Paper

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 or a paper not supported by the driver. Use the paper
configuration settings described below. If you're printing on unusually thick
or thin paper, you may also need to adjust the platen gap; if so, you should
do that first (see page 81).
When adjusting the paper settings, you can have them affect all your print
jobs; or you can create a special profile, or group of settings, for each paper
type (up to ten types) and select the desired profile whenever you print on a
particular stock.

Adjusting the Paper Settings

To change paper settings and have them affect all your print jobs, follow the
steps below. If you want to create a profile for a specific paper type, see
