Follow these guidelines when loading paper:

Don’t load paper above the arrow mark on the left edge guide. Make sure the paper is under the tabs on the left and right edge guides.

Load the printable side face-up. It’s often glossier or whiter than the other side.

Always load the short edge first, even when printing in landscape mode.

Load letterhead or preprinted paper into the printer top edge first.

If you experience paper feeding problems, try loading fewer sheets.

If you’re using special paper, check the package for additional instructions on loading and using the paper.

Special Papers

You can achieve good results with most types of plain bond paper. Coated papers, however, provide superior printouts because they absorb less ink. Epson provides special papers that are formulated for the ink used in Epson ink jet printers and recommends these papers to ensure high-quality results.

Note:

When you use special paper, check the package for special instructions on loading and using the paper.

Caution:

If your Epson® special paper includes a cleaning sheet, don’t use it with this printer; the sheet may jam inside your printer.
