Paper

Since the quality of any particular brand or type of paper may be changed by the manufacturer at any time, Epson cannot attest to the quality of any non-Epson brand of paper. Always test samples of paper stock before purchasing large quantities or printing large jobs.

Poor quality paper may reduce print quality and cause paper jams and other problems. If you encounter problems, switch to a higher grade of paper. Do not load curled, folded, or wrinkled paper.

Use paper under normal environmental conditions: 59 to 77 °F (15 to 25 °C) and 40 to 60% RH (relative humidity).

Caution:

To ensure good results, use genuine Epson cartridges. Other products may cause damage to your printer not covered by Epson’s warranty.

Don’t use an ink cartridge if the date on the package has expired.

Do not refill the ink cartridge. An IC chip on the cartridge calculates the amount of remaining ink based on the initial supply. Adding ink does not increase the amount available for use.

Note:

If you’re using Epson paper, follow any instructions that came with it. For example, some types of paper should be loaded only one sheet at a time. See the electronic Reference Guide for details.

To ensure good results, always:

■ Load paper short edge first.

■ Load paper with the printable side up (it’s usually whiter or

brighter).

■ Check the RX700’s Paper Type setting before printing to make

sure it matches the type of paper you’ve loaded (see page 7).
