Use higher quality paper appropriate for your print job.
(See Chapter 2 for a list of
EPSON
papers).
◗
Match the Media Type in the main printer settings dialog
box to the type of paper or media you loaded in the printer.

Turn off High Speed mode in the advanced printer settings
dialog box, as described in Chapter 3.
