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.
❏ Do not use paper that is wavy, torn, cut, folded, damp, too thick, too thin, or paper that has stickers stuck to it.
Using these types of paper causes paper jams and smears on the printout.
❏ Make sure you are using long-grain paper. If you are not sure what type of paper you are using, check the paper
packaging or contact the manufacturer to conrm the paper specications.

❏ Printed paper is ejected to the output tray with the printed side facing down. For A4 size plain paper (with a
thickness of 80g/m²), up to 100 sheets can be ejected at a time. Outputting more than 100 sheets may cause
paper to fall or a paper jam to occur. Remove any excess paper so that it does not exceed the maximum number
of sheets that can be ejected.
❏ When you load thick paper or business card size paper, lower the output switch lever to output paper to the
front of the printer. We also recommend outputting envelopes to the front of the printer.
