    Labels
    You can load up to 16.5 mm thick stack of labels into the MP tray 
    at a time. However, you may need to feed some labels one sheet 
    at a time, or load them manually.
    Note:
    ❏Duplex printing is not available for labels.
    ❏Depending on the quality of labels, the printing environment, or the 
    printing procedure, labels might be wrinkled. Make a trial print run 
    before you print on a lot of labels.
    When loading labels, you should make paper settings as shown 
    below:
    ❏Make settings on the Basic Settings in the printer driver.
    ❏You can also make these settings on the Tray Menu in the 
    control panel. See  Tray Menu on page 229.
    Note:
    ❏You should only use labels designed for laser printers or plain-paper 
    copiers.
    ❏To prevent the label adhesive from coming into contact with printer 
    parts, always use labels that completely cover the backing sheet, with 
    no gaps between the individual labels.
    ❏Press a sheet of paper on top of each sheet of labels. If the paper sticks, 
    do not use those labels in your printer. Paper Size:A4 or LT
    Paper Source:MP Tray (up to 50 sheets)

    About the Printer Software
    The printer driver lets you choose from a wide variety of settings 
    to get the best results from your printer. The printer driver also 
    includes EPSON Status Monitor 3, which is accessed through the 
    Optional Settings menu. EPSON Status Monitor 3 lets you check 
    the status of your printer.
    See  Monitoring Your Printer Using EPSON Status Monitor 3 on 
    page 108 for more information.
    Accessing the printer driver
    You can access the printer driver directly from any application 
    programs, from your Windows operating system.
    The printer settings made from many Windows applications 
    override the setting made when the printer driver is accessed 
    from the operating system, so you should access the printer driver 
    from your application to make sure that you get the result you 
    want.
    From the application
    To access the printer driver, click the Print or Page Setup from 
    the File menu. You also need to click Setup, Options, Properties, 
    or a combination of these buttons.

    Making Changes to Printer Settings
    Making the print quality settings
    You can change the print quality of printouts through settings in 
    the printer driver. With the printer driver, you can make the print 
    settings by choosing from a list of predefined settings, or 
    customizing the settings.
    Choosing the print quality by using the Automatic setting
    You can change the print quality of printouts to favor speed or 
    detail. There are five quality modes for the color printing mode 
    and three for the monochrome printing mode.
    When Automatic is selected in the Basic Settings menu, the 
    printer driver takes care of all detailed settings according to the 
    color setting you select. Print quality and color are the only 
    settings you have to make. You can change other settings such as 
    paper size or orientation in most applications.
    Note:
    The printer driver’s online help provides details on printer driver 
    settings.
