Loading Paper

You can print documents and photos on a variety of paper types and sizes. For details, see page 15.

1. Open the paper support and pull up the extensions. Then pull out the output tray extensions, and raise the paper stopper.

2. Squeeze the edge guide and slide it left.

Note:

If the feeder guard is in the way, flip it forward.

3. Insert paper, glossy or printable side up, against the right side and behind the tab. (Load letterhead or pre-printed paper top edge first.)

Always load paper short edge first, even for landscape printing.

Loading Paper

FPO

You can load up to 100 sheets of plain paper or 20 sheets of photo paper. Load other special papers one sheet at a time. See your on-screen 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 Premium Photo Paper Glossy (see “Using Special Papers” for more information).

4. Slide the edge guide against the paper, but not too tightly.

Note:

For details on paper and instructions on loading envelopes, see your on-screen Epson Information Center.
