MP tray cover
3. Load a stack of paper in the center of the tray with the short edge first and the printable surface facing up. Pinch the knob and the paper guide together and slide them against the right side of the stack for a snug fit.
Note: Poor quality paper may reduce the print quality and cause paper jams or other problems. If you have print quality problems, switch to a higher grade paper.
Do not load curled or folded paper.
Use paper only under these conditions: Temperature: 59 to 77 °F (15 to 25 °C) Humidity: 40 to 60% RH
Since the quality of any particular brand or type of paper may be changed by the manufacturer at any time, Epson cannot guarantee the quality of any non-Epson brand or type of paper. Always test a sample of paper stock before purchasing large quantities or printing large jobs.
Always load paper into the sheet feeder with the short edge first. Load envelopes flap edge left with the printable side up.

Note:
After loading paper, press the Setup button on the control panel, press the
