A:AnswerHello SteveS. The ET-8500 can print on cardstock, but feeding reliability can vary when using third-party paper based on the brand, texture, thickness, and weight. We recommend testing a sample first to make sure it works well, since Epson doesn’t guarantee compatibility with all paper types. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
A:AnswerHello nick. Remove the CD/DVD tray (stored beneath Cassette 2) to load a disc. Place the printable side of the disc facing up in the tray, then insert it back into the slot above the output area.
From your printing software, select the correct paper source option for the tray and print. After printing, the tray extends, and you can remove the disc and then store the tray back in the storage slot. Regards, Kevin - The Epson Team.
