Loading and Printing on Thick Paper

You can load thick paper, such as EPSON Velvet Fine Art Paper, in the manual feed slot. Make sure your paper is white, up to 0.05-inch (1.3 mm) thick, and is flat and smooth, with no folded edges.

Note: You can’t print on thick paper in the manual feed slot when you’re printing with Macintosh OS X applications.

1.Turn off the printer and remove the roll paper holder and automatic roll paper cutter, if they’re installed (see page 40).

Note: You must remove the automatic roll paper cutter or manual feed slot printing won’t work.

2.Remove any paper loaded in the sheet feeder.

3.Turn on the printer. (The printer must be on to load thick paper correctly.)

4.Set the adjust lever to the ! position. The m paper light begins flashing rapidly.

5.Place one sheet of thick paper—printable side up—in the manual feed slot. Slowly insert it into the slot against the far left side.

6.Open the printer cover and look down into the printer as you slide the paper into the manual feed slot.

Position the leading edge so it’s just past the small gray rollers, about 0.4-inch (1 cm).

Make sure the paper is feeding straight; if not, tilt the paper slightly to the left or right to straighten it.
