Creating Custom Paper Settings

You can create and store up to 30 custom paper settings for use in printing on non-Epson paper or paper that is not supported by the Epson printer driver.

Load the type of paper that you want to configure in the printer.
Select > General Settings > Printer Settings > Custom Paper Setting.
Select a number for the custom paper setting.
Note: You cannot change paper setting information registered using the printer driver or other software using the LCD screen.
Select Change Reference Paper.
Select a paper preset that is similar to the paper that you loaded following these guidelines:
- Photo paper: Baryta
- Fine art paper: Fine Art Matte
- Canvas: Canvas Satin or Canvas Matte
- Plain paper: Plain Paper
- Glossy paper: Photo Paper
- Thick, non-glossy paper: Matte Paper
- Thin, soft, non-glossy paper: Plain Paper
- Canvas-like paper: Canvas
- Cotton paper with a rough surface: Fine Art Paper
- Special media such as film, cloth, poster board, or tracing paper: Others
Select Advanced Paper Settings and enter a value for the following settings:
- Paper Thickness (check the manual supplied with the paper)
- Roll Core Diameter (roll paper only)
- Paper Feed Offset (leave at 0 unless you see horizontal banding)
  Note: The Paper Feed Offset setting allows you to adjust the difference between the data size and the print size. For example, if you are printing at a data size of 3.9 inches (100 mm) and a print size of 4 inches (101 mm), the offset is 1.0%. Therefore, you would enter a value of -1.0%. If you change even one item set in the Paper menu, you need to perform Paper Feed Offset again.
Select any additional settings in the Advanced Paper Settings menu, as necessary.

After you create a new custom paper setting, it will appear in the list of available paper types. You should perform a manual feed adjustment before printing on the custom media.

Note: You can also use Epson Media Installer to import non-Epson media types into the LCD screen.
