Since the quality of any particular brand or type of paper may
be changed by the manufacturer at any time, Epson cannot
attest to the quality of any non-Epson brand or type of paper.
Always test samples of paper stock before purchasing large
quantities or printing large jobs.
Poor quality paper may reduce print quality and cause paper
jams or other problems. If you encounter problems, switch to
a higher grade of paper. Do not use curled, folded, or deckleedge paper.

Consumables and Accessories
Ink Cartridges
When you install the printer’s first ink cartridges, it takes
about 8 minutes to initialize the printer. Do not interrupt this
process by turning off the printer, opening the top cover, or
releasing the paper lever, or the printer will have to reinitialize. In that case, there may not be enough ink left in the
original cartridges and you may have to replace them with new
ones.
Use the following Epson
Magenta ink cartridges before the expiration date on the
package:
