Loading Paper
The type of paper you choose affects the way your printout looks, so be sure to
select the correct paper for your job. For the best results, you’ll want to use one of
Epson’s special ink jet papers designed for your printer. For guidelines, see page 10.
1. Open the paper support and slide out its extensions.

Loading Paper 9
Follow these guidelines when loading paper:
■Don’t load paper above the arrow mark on the left edge guide. Make sure the
paper is under the tabs on the left and right edge guides.
■Load the printable side face-up. It’s often glossier or whiter than the other
side.
■Always load the short edge first, even when printing in landscape mode.
■Load letterhead or preprinted paper into the printer top edge first.
■If you experience paper feeding problems, try loading fewer sheets.
■If you’re using special paper, check the package for additional instructions on
loading and using the paper.
Special Papers
You can achieve good results with most types of plain bond paper. Coated papers,
however, provide superior printouts because they absorb less ink. Epson provides
special papers that are formulated for the ink used in Epson ink jet printers and
recommends these papers to ensure high-quality results.
Note:
When you use special paper, check the package for special instructions on loading and
using the paper.
Caution:
If your Epson
sheet may jam inside your printer.
