Introduction
After you have set up your Epson printer as described on the Start Here sheet, turn
here to:
■ Make a copy of a document or photo
■ Print photos from a memory card
■ Get the basic steps for printing from your computer
■ Scan a document or photo and restore or correct the color
■ Perform routine maintenance and solve simple problems
This book tells you how to do most of these things without ever turning on your
computer! For additional instructions, see the on-screen Epson Information Center
(which includes your user’s guide) by double-clicking its icon on your desktop.
Please follow these guidelines as you read the instructions:
Warning:
Warnings must be followed carefully to avoid bodily injury.
Caution:
Cautions must be observed to avoid damage to your equipment.
Note:
Notes contain important information about your printer.
Tip:
Tips contain hints for better copying, scanning, and printing.
4 Introduction
Loading Paper
You can print documents and photos on a variety of paper types and sizes. For
details, see page 7.
1. Open the paper support and pull up the extensions. Then open the output
tray, pull out the extensions, and raise the stopper.
2. Flip the feeder guard forward, then squeeze the edge guide and slide it left.
Loading Paper 5
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 100 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.
