Creating Paper Configurations

You can create and store up to 10 custom paper configurations for use in printing on non-Epson paper or paper that is not supported by the Epson printer driver.

Note: Custom paper configurations are based on the existing Uni-D and Bi-D print head alignment. For best results, perform the head alignments on Epson Doubleweight Matte Paper.

Load the type of paper that you want to configure in the printer.
Press the Menu button.
Press the up or down arrow button to select Paper and press the right arrow button.
Select Custom Paper Setting and press the right arrow button.
Select a number for the custom paper configuration and press the OK button.
Select Select Reference Paper and press the right arrow button.
Select a paper preset that is similar to the paper that you loaded and press the OK button.
Note: Use the following guidelines when selecting the reference paper that is closest to the paper you are using:
- Glossy paper: Photo Paper or Proofing Paper.
- Thick paper that isn't glossy: Matte Paper.
- Thin, soft paper that isn't glossy: Plain Paper.
- Cotton paper with a rough surface: Fine Art Paper.
- Special media such as film, cloth, poster board, or tracing paper: Others.
Select Platen Gap and press the right arrow button.
Select a platen gap setting and press the OK button.
Select Detect Paper Thickness and press the right arrow button.
Press the OK button. A paper thickness pattern prints.
Check the printed pattern and locate the pattern with the most evenly overlapping lines.
Select the number of the most even pattern and press the OK button.
Select any additional settings in the Custom Paper Settings menu, as necessary.
When you finish changing the paper configuration settings, press pause/cancel to exit the menu.

After you create paper configurations, you can print a list of the presets and the settings for each one.

Note: You can also use the LFP Remote Panel Utility software to create custom paper configurations.
