Epson XP-435 paper settings

When making copies of documents it only offers the choice of photographic papers: glossy, ultra glossy, prem. semiglossy but no plain paper option.

Hell's Bells!

Just spoken to the Epson Customer Support (or something like that), was told that the lack of the Plain Paper option was due to the fact that the printer was set at the Default Options when it left the factory and that I would have to go to the Setup option, and select the WITH BORDER option and then all should be well. Bloody hell, it's meant to be a home copier, surely it ought to be able to copy a document as well as photographs on plain paper without all this fannying about?

I'm sure I'd never have found out how to do it without the aid of the Helpdesk, how bloody annoying.

Thank you sanqhar/tom, I had forgotten about that post and can’t think why the wretched thing had reverted to the no plain paper default option some time during the following seven years. All is now well, quite a relief actually.

Thank you very much.
