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

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.

impact of your documents, photos, presentations, and other projects.
