Paper Handling Precautions

❏ Read the instruction sheets supplied with the paper.

❏ Fan and align the edges of the paper before loading. Do not fan or curl photo paper. Doing so may damage the

printable side.

❏ If the paper is curled, atten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled

paper may cause paper jams and smears on the printout.

❏ Paper feed problems may occur frequently for manual 2-sided printing when printing on one side of pre-

printed paper. Reduce the number of sheets to half or less, or load one sheet of paper at a time if paper jams continue.

❏ Fan and align the edges of the envelopes before loading. When the stacked envelopes are pued up with air,

press them down to atten them before loading.

CD/DVD Handling Precautions

❏ See the documentation provided with your CD/DVD for more information on handling the CD/DVD or

writing data.

❏ Do not print on the CD/DVD before writing your data to it. If you do, ngerprints, dirt, or scratches on the

surface may cause errors while writing data.

❏ Depending on the CD/DVD type or printing data, smearing may occur. Try making a test print on a spare CD/

DVD. Check the printed surface aer waiting for one full day.

❏ Compared to printing on genuine Epson paper, the print density is lowered to prevent ink from smearing on the

CD/DVD. Adjust the print density as necessary.

❏ Allow the printed CD/DVDs at least 24 hours to dry avoiding direct sunlight. Do not stack or insert the CD/

DVDs into your device until they are completely dry.

❏ If the printed surface is sticky even aer it has dried, lower the print density.

❏ Reprinting on the same CD/DVD may not improve the print quality.

❏ If the CD/DVD tray or the internal transparent compartment are accidentally printed on, immediately wipe

the ink.

❏ Depending on the print area setting, the CD/DVD or CD/DVD tray may get dirty. Make settings to print on the

printable area.

You can adjust the colors used in the print job. ese adjustments are not applied to the original data.

PhotoEnhance produces sharper images and more vivid colors by automatically adjusting the contrast, saturation, and brightness of the original image data.

Printing

Note: PhotoEnhance adjusts the color by analyzing the location of the subject. erefore, if you have changed the location of the

subject by reducing, enlarging, cropping, or rotating the image, the color may change unexpectedly. Selecting the borderless setting also changes the location of the subject resulting in changes in color. If the image is out of focus, the tone may be unnatural. If the color is changed or becomes unnatural, print in a mode other than PhotoEnhance.
