Your printer adjusts itself for each type of paper, which is why the Media Type setting in your printer’s software is so important. Although you only need to make a few basic settings, such as ink color and paper size, you may want to experiment with your printer software’s advanced settings. These allow you to fine-tune your printouts for professional results. See “Printing with Special Settings” on page 44 for details.

Handling Paper

For the most vivid colors and sharpest text, always use EPSON’s special ink jet papers. You can demonstrate the difference for yourself by experimenting with the Media Pack that came with your EPSON Stylus Scan.

To load paper, slide out the left edge guide and place the stack of paper against the right side of the sheet feeder. Then slide the left edge guide against the paper.

If the paper has a cut corner, make sure you load it like this.

Slide the left edge guide against the paper.

Follow these guidelines for loading paper:

■Always load the printable side (the whiter and brighter side) face up. Some special papers come with a cut corner to help you load them correctly.

■Load letterhead or preprinted paper so the top of the paper feeds into the printer first.
