The type of paper you choose affects the way your printout
looks, be sure to select the correct paper for your job. If you are
making a copy or printing a rough draft of an image, plain paper is
fine. However, for the best results, you’ll want to use one of
Epson’s special ink jet papers designed for your printer. For
example, your photos will look great printed on Epson Premium
Glossy Photo Paper. See page 1 for more information.

As with traditional photos, Epson recommends proper care
that will minimize color changes and lengthen display life:
❏ Frame prints under glass or a protective plastic sleeve to
protect them from atmospheric contaminants like
humidity, smoke, and high levels of ozone.
❏ As with all photographs, keep your prints away from direct
sunlight.
❏ For proper storage, keep your prints in a photo album or
plastic photo storage box in acid-free, archival sleeves
commonly available from most camera stores.
❏ Always keep unused paper in the original package.
Placing Originals for Copying or Scanning
1. Open the document cover and place your original facedown on the glass, in the upper left corner. Move your
original about 0.2 inch (5 mm) away from the top and left
edges so all of it will be copied.
If you need to press the document flat while you copy or scan
it, do not press too hard and be careful not to move it.
Caution:
Do not use excessive force on the document cover, and do not twist
it. You may damage the document cover.
When you are done, close the document cover.
Copying
