Paper Handling Precautions

❏ Read the instruction sheets supplied with the paper.

❏ To achieve high-quality printouts with genuine Epson paper, use the paper in the environment stated on the

sheets supplied with the paper.

❏ Fan and align the edges of the paper before loading. Do not fan or curl photo paper. Doing so may damage the

printable side.

❏ If the paper is curled, atten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled

paper may cause paper jams and smears on the printout.

❏ Paper feed problems may occur frequently for manual 2-sided printing when printing on one side of pre-

printed paper. Reduce the number of sheets to half or less, or load one sheet of paper at a time if paper jams continue.

❏ Make sure you are using long-grain paper. If you are not sure what type of paper you are using, check the paper

When the power cord is unplugged or a power outage occurs while the printer is in operation, the print head may not be capped properly. If the print head is le as it is, it will dry out causing nozzles (ink outlets) to clog.

In these cases, turn the printer on and o again as soon as possible to cap the print head.
