Loading Paper
4. Insert the paper, printable side up, against the right edge guide and beneath
the tabs. (The printable side is whiter or brighter on some papers.) Always
load paper short edge first, even for landscape printing.
5. Slide the left edge guide against the left edge of the paper (but not too tightly).
You can load up to 100 sheets of plain paper at 20 lb (75 g/m
2
) and up to 20
sheets of matte or photo paper (see the online Epson Information Center for
capacity guidelines on other paper types).
Note:
The type of paper you choose affects the way your printout looks, so be sure to select
the correct paper for your job. If you are just 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.
