Introduction
Loading Paper
You can print documents and photos on a variety of paper types and sizes. For
details, see page 7.

3. Insert the paper, glossy or printable side up, against the right edge and behind
the tab. (Load letterhead or pre-printed paper top edge first.)
Always load paper short edge
first, even for landscape printing.
You can load up to 120 sheets of letter-size plain paper, 80 sheets of matte, or
20 sheets of photo paper. Load other papers one sheet at a time. See your onscreen Epson Information Center for more information.
Note:
The type of paper you choose affects the way your printout looks. If you are just
making a copy or printing a rough draft, 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 Ultra Premium
Photo Paper Glossy (see page 7 for more information).
4. Slide the edge guide against the paper, but not too tightly.
Note:
For instructions on loading envelopes, see your on-screen Epson Information Center.
