Selecting The Correct Media Type - Epson 580 Printer Basics Manual

Selecting the Correct Media Type

Before printing, always check the Media Type setting in your printer software. The
printer uses the Media Type setting to adjust the ink coverage for the type of paper
you are using.
The Media Type setting for your paper may not be the same name as your paper.
To be sure you are using the correct setting, see the table below or the instructions
that came with your paper.
