Using Special Paper

You can achieve good results with most types of plain bond paper. However, coated papers provide superior printouts because they absorb less ink.

Epson provides special papers that are formulated for the ink used in Epson ink jet printers, and recommends these papers to ensure high-quality results.

Paper

When loading special paper distributed by Epson, read the instruction sheets packed with the paper first and keep the following points in mind.

Note:

Load the paper into the sheet feeder printable side up. The printable side is usually whiter or glossier. See the instruction sheets packed with the paper for more information. Some types of paper have cut corners to help identify the correct loading direction.
If the paper is curled, flatten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled paper may cause ink to smear on your printout.

Loading capacities for Epson special media

Refer to the table below for the loading capacities of Epson special paper and other media.

Media Type	Loading Capacity
Epson Premium Ink Jet Plain Paper Epson Photo Quality Ink Jet Paper	Up to 100 sheets
Epson Bright White Ink Jet Paper	Up to 80 sheets
Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper Epson Premium Semigloss Photo Paper Epson Ultra Glossy Photo Paper Epson Glossy Photo Paper Epson Matte Paper-Heavyweight	Up to 20 sheets
Epson Double-Sided Matte Paper Epson Photo Stickers 4 Epson Photo Stickers 16 Epson Iron-On Cool Peel Transfer Paper	One sheet at a time

Storing Epson photo paper

Return unused paper to the original package as soon as you finish printing. Epson recommends storing your printouts in a resealable plastic bag. Keep them away from high temperature, humidity, and direct sunlight.

Positioning a CD/DVD

Follow the steps below to insert a CD/DVD into this printer.

Caution:

Make sure to check the following section before inserting the CD/DVD.
See Notice for CD/DVD printing
Be sure to insert the CD/DVD following the steps described below. If you insert the CD/DVD in a different way, the data or printer may be damaged.

Note:

Before printing on a CD/DVD, it is necessary to clean the roller inside of the printer by feeding and ejecting A4 size paper. Load plain paper and press the paper button to feed and eject paper several times.

Make sure that the printer is on.

Caution:

Be sure to insert the CD/DVD tray while the power is on. Otherwise, automatic print position adjustment may not take place after inserting the CD/DVD tray.

Open the front cover.

Lift the front tray up with both hands, then pull it out.

Set the front tray in the CD/DVD position as shown in the illustration below.

Place the CD/DVD on the CD/DVD tray with the label surface up.

Note:

Use one CD/DVD at a time.

12-cm CD/DVD
	Set a 12-cm CD/DVD directly onto the CD/DVD tray, without the adapter.
8-cm CD/DVD
	*: 8-cm CD/DVD adapter 1. Fit the adapter into the CD/DVD tray as shown in the illustration. Make sure the round or angled tabs on the edge of the adapter fit squarely into the molding of the tray. 2. Set an 8-cm CD/DVD inside the adapter.

Caution:

Before positioning the CD/DVD, make sure that no foreign particles or substances are on the CD/DVD tray, as these may damage the CD/DVD’s data side.
Be sure to use the CD/DVD tray provided with this printer. If you use another CD/DVD tray, there may be a gap in the print position and printing may not be performed properly.

With the CD/DVD loaded printable side up, gently insert the CD/DVD tray along the base of the front tray until the marks on the CD/DVD tray and the front tray match each other. Make sure that either edge of the CD/DVD tray is inserted into the brackets on the front tray.

Caution:

Do not insert the CD/DVD tray while the printer is operating. Otherwise, your printer may be damaged or the surface of the CD/DVD may become dirty or scratched.

USB Disk Security 5.1.0.15

2009-02-22T02:15:00.000-08:00

Why Choose USB Disk Security

USB Disk Security provides 100% protection against any malicious programs trying to attack via USB storage. Supports USB stick, flash drive, flash disk, flash memory, compact flash card, cf card, secure digital card, sd card, thumb drive, pen drive, removable storage, portable storage, ipod, media player and more.

Features Comparison	USB Disk Security	Other Software
Prevent any virus via USB storage	Yes!	No!
Protect offline computer	Yes!	No!
Need constant upgrades	No!	Yes!
Low system capacity demand	Yes!	No!
Compatible with all antivirus software	Yes!	No!
Free update for lifetime	Yes!	No!

Product Highlights

100% protection against any malicious programs via USB storage
USB Disk Security uses innovative proactive technology to block any threats via USB drive. There are relatively few products available in shops or on the Internet which offer even close to 100% protection against any malicious programs via USB drive. The majority of products are unable even to guarantee 90% protection. USB Disk Security is the world's best software to block threats via USB drive.

The best solution to protect offline computer
Other antivirus software should update signature database regularly, and they cannot effectively protect offline computer that is not connected to the Internet. When new viruses, worms and other malicious attacks strike, traditional signatures are insufficient. Every minute one waits for a virus signature update creates a window of vulnerability that could have devastating consequences. USB Disk Security uses advanced proactive detection techniques, requires no signature updates, and closes the window of vulnerability left open by other reactive, signature-based responses.

The world's fastest and smallest antivirus software
With USB Disk Security, it’s not necessary to sacrifice speed for detection and scanning. Compare antivirus software and you'll discover that USB Disk Security is by far one of the smallest applications in the industry. For example, the USB Disk Security installer is just 1 MB. The program utilizes approximately 1 to 7 MB of RAM.

100% compatible with all software
Incompatibility between antivirus programs is an issue. In the vast majority of cases, installing two antivirus programs from different vendors on one machine (for increased protection) is technically impossible, as the two programs will disrupt each other's functioning. However, USB Disk Security is 100% compatible with all software, including Windows Vista.

Simple to use
USB Disk Security has been specifically designed to perform effectively regardless of the user’s level of computer expertise. Just install and forget it.

Printing on CDs and DVDs

The EPSON Print CD software included with the printer allows you to create CD/DVD labels. After you create the label file, you can print directly on 12-cm and 8-cm CDs/DVDs.

Notice for CD/DVD printing

Store the CD/DVD tray in a flat place. A warped or damaged CD/DVD tray may stop the printer from operating normally.
Use only CD/DVD labelled as suitable for printing, for example “Printable on the label surface” or “Printable with ink jet printers”.
For more details on handling CD/DVD and guidelines for writing data to a CD/DVD, refer to your CD/DVD documentation.
A lower level of color saturation is used to ensure print quality when printing on a CD/DVD, as opposed to Epson special paper.
Do not print on the CD/DVD before writing your data to it. If you do, fingerprints, dirt, or scratches on the surface may cause errors while writing data.
Try to test print on a spare CD/DVD and check the printed surface after waiting for one full day, especially before printing a large amount of CD/DVDs.
Before using or touching the printed surface of your CD/DVDs, make sure you dry them completely and out of direct sunlight.
Depending on the CD/DVD type, smearing may occur depending on the level of color saturation.
If the printed surface is sticky even after it has dried, the color saturation level may be too high. In that case, lower the level of the color saturation in EPSON Print CD.
Moisture on the printable surface may cause smearing.
If the CD/DVD tray or the internal transparent compartment are accidentally printed on, immediately wipe off the ink.
Reprinting on the same CD/DVD may not improve the print quality.
You can set the printable area of a CD/DVD using EPSON Print CD. Set the printable area to fit the printable area of the CD/DVD that you are printing on. When you make settings, note that improper settings may stain the CD/DVD tray, CD, or DVD.
The printable area of a CD/DVD is illustrated as follows.

12-cm CD/DVD	8-cm CD/DVD

Note:

If you are printing in the following areas of the disc, the disc or the CD/DVD tray may get stained with ink.

Inner hub area	18 to 42 mm
Outer periphery area	117 to 120 mm (12-cm CD/DVD), 77 to 80 mm (8-cm CD/DVD)
