Loading Paper

You can print documents and photos on a variety of paper types and sizes. For details, see page 7. (For instructions on loading envelopes, see your online User’s Guide.)

1. Pull out the paper cassette.

Note:

If you are using legal-size paper, extend the paper cassette. See your online User’s Guide for details.

2. Slide the edge guides to the sides of the cassette, then slide the edge guide to your paper size.

4 Loading Paper

3. Load paper against the edge guide, with the glossy or printable side face down. (Load letterhead or pre-printed paper top edge first. Always load paper short edge first; don’t load it sideways.)

Note:

Make sure the paper is loaded against the edge guide and not sticking out from the end of the cassette.

Fan the paper and align its edges before loading.

Do not use transparencies or paper with binder holes.

If you are just making a copy or printing a rough draft, plain paper is fine. However, for the best results, use one of Epson’s special ink jet papers, as listed on page 7.

For automatic two-sided printing, use plain paper or Epson Bright White Paper.

You can load up to about 150 sheets of plain paper or 20 sheets of photo paper. See your online User’s Guide for more information on paper loading limits.

Loading Paper 5

4. Slide the edge guides against the edges of the paper, but not too tightly.

5. Insert the cassette back into the printer.

Note:

Keep the cassette flat as you insert it.

The paper may slide forward slightly as you insert the cassette. This is normal.

Do not remove or insert the cassette while printing or copying.

6. Slide out the output tray and raise the stopper.

Note:

If you are using legal-size paper, do not raise the stopper.
