Paper Handling Precautions

❏ Read the instruction sheets supplied with the paper.

❏ To achieve high-quality printouts with genuine Epson paper, use the paper in the environment stated on the

sheets supplied with the paper.

❏ Fan and align the edges of the paper before loading. Do not fan or curl photo paper. Doing so may damage the

printable side.

❏ If the paper is curled, atten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled

paper may cause paper jams and smears on the printout.

❏ Do not use paper that is wavy, torn, cut, folded, damp, too thick, too thin, or paper that has stickers stuck to it.

Using these types of paper causes paper jams and smears on the printout.

❏ Make sure you are using long-grain paper. If you are not sure what type of paper you are using, check the paper

packaging or contact the manufacturer to conrm the paper specications.
