•Load paper before you send your print job. If the paper runs out during a print job, you can have the printer automatically switch to the other tray. (The paper size and media type levers must be set the same for both trays, or the levers must be set to Other on the lower tray. See the next section for instructions.)
•Always choose the correct Media Type setting in your printer software before you send your print job.
•Press the Eject/Continue button if you need to remove a sheet of paper.
•To keep your printouts looking their best, store them in a resealable plastic bag or other airtight covering.
Note
For any papers not on this list, set the lever to
Other.
Setting the Paper Tray Levers
For best printing results, you need to set the media type and paper size levers correctly when you load paper. You should also use the media type and paper size cards to identify the paper loaded in each tray. This helps all users to be aware of what’s in the printer at a glance, and also prevents anyone from inadvertently changing the lever positions.
The following table identifies the media type settings for EPSON media and similar papers:
