Creating Custom Paper Settings Using the Control Panel

You can create custom paper settings from the printer control panel.

Note: If you are using non-Epson paper or media, consult the paper manufacturer for suggested reference papers and print settings for use with the paper or media.

Load the type of paper that you want to configure in the printer.
Select Menu > General Settings > Printer Settings > Custom Paper Setting.
Select an open custom paper setting from the list.

Note: To modify an existing custom paper setting, select it from the list. You cannot change a custom paper setting that was registered using Epson Media Installer.
Enter the name for the custom paper setting.
Select Change Reference Paper.
A confirmation message appears.
Select Yes and do one of the following:
- Select the reference paper recommended by the paper manufacturer.
- If no reference paper is available, follow these suggestions to select a paper preset that is similar to the paper that you loaded:
  - Photo paper: Baryta
  - Fine art paper: UltraSmooth Fine Art
  - 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: UltraSmooth Fine Art
  - 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 Specification Sheet for the paper, if available)
- 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.
