Printing Basics

About Print Media

Using paper that is not appropriate for the printer can cause paper jams, image quality problems, orprinter failure. To achieve the best performance from your printer, we recommend you to use only thepaper described in this section.

When using paper other than that recommended, contact the Epson local representative office or anauthorized dealer.

Print Media Usage Guidelines

The printer tray accommodates most sizes and types of paper and other specialty media. Follow theseguidelines when loading paper and media:

Before buying large quantities of any print media, it is recommended that you try a sample first.

For 60 to 135 gsm (16 to 36 lb bond) paper, grain long, where the paper fibers run along the lengthof the paper, is recommended. For paper heavier than 135 gsm (36 lb bond), grain short, where the

paper fibers run along the width of the paper, is preferred. Fan paper or other specialty media before loading in the paper tray.

Do not print on label stock once a label has been removed from a sheet.

Use only paper envelopes. Do not use envelopes with windows, metal clasps, or adhesives withrelease strips.

Print all envelopes single-sided only.

Some wrinkling and embossing may occur when printing envelopes.

Do not overload the paper tray. Do not load print media above the fill line on the inside of the paperwidth guides.

Adjust the paper width guides to fit the paper size.

If excessive jams or wrinkles occur, use paper or other media from a new package.


Printing Basics 24

7/25/2019 Epson 328436 Eu

25/105

wWarning:

Do not use conductive paper such as origami paper, carbonic paper or conductively-coated paper.When paper jam occurs, it may cause short-circuit and eventually a fire accident.

Print Media That Can Damage Your Printer

Your printer is designed to use a variety of media types for print jobs. However, some media can cause

poor output quality, increased paper jams, or damage to your printer.

Unacceptable media includes:

Paper that is too heavyweight or too lightweight (less than 60 gsm or more than 163 gsm)

Transparencies

Photo paper or coated paper

Tracing paper

Illumination film

Special ink jet printer paper and ink jet transparencies

Static-cling paper

Pasted-up or glued paper

Specially coated paper

Color paper with surface treatments

Paper that uses ink that deteriorates with heat

Photosensitive paper

Carbon paper or carbonless copy paper

Paper with a rough surface, such as Japanese paper, pulp paper or fibrous paper

Textile transfer paper

Perforated paper

Leather paper, embossed paper

Conductive paper such as origami paper, carbonic paper or conductively-coated paper

Wrinkled, creased, folded, or ripped paper

Damp or wet paper

Paper pre-printed by another printer or copier

Paper pre-printed all over rear side

wWarning:

Do not use conductive paper such as origami paper, carbonic paper or conductively-coated paper.When paper jam occurs, it may cause short-circuit and eventually a fire accident.

Print Media Storage Guidelines

Providing good storage conditions for your paper and other media contributes to optimum printquality.

Store print media in dark, cool, relatively dry locations. Most paper items are susceptible todamage from ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. UV radiation, which is emitted by the sun andfluorescent bulbs, is particularly damaging to paper items. The intensity and length of exposure to

visible light on paper items should be reduced as much as possible.

Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.


Printing Basics 26

7/25/2019 Epson 328436 Eu

27/105

Avoid attics, kitchens, garages, and basements for storing print media.

Store print media flat. Print media should be stored on pallets, cartons, shelves, or in cabinets.

Avoid having food or drinks in the area where print media is stored or handled.

Do not open sealed packages of paper until you are ready to load them into the printer. Leave paperin the original packaging. For most commercial cut-size grades, the ream wrapper contains aninner lining that protects the paper from moisture loss or gain.

Leave the media inside the bag until you are ready to use it; reinsert unused media in the bag andreseal it for protection. Some specialty media is packaged inside resealable plastic bags.

Supported Print Media

Using unsuitable print media may lead to paper jams, poor print quality, breakdown and damage toyour printer. To use the features of this printer effectively, use the suggested print media that isrecommended here.

Important:The toner may come off the print media, if it gets wet by water, rain, steam and so on. For details, contactthe Epson local representative office or an authorized dealer.
