Printing on a Macintosh

Before you start, make sure your printer is set up and its software is installed as 
described on the Start Here sheet.

Whenever you print, make sure you do the following:

■

Use the right paper.

For the best-looking photos, most vivid colors, and greatest detail, always use 
genuine EPSON papers and EPSON inks.

■

Choose the right printer settings.

Your printer automatically adjusts itself for each type of paper. That’s why printer 
settings are important. They tell your printer what kind of paper you’re using and 
what type of print you want. Make sure you check your printer settings every time 
you print.

See these sections for instructions on selecting printer settings:
