Epson Stylus Pro 3800
Choosing the Correct Paper Path
The printer provides three paths for loading media:
❏Auto sheet feeder
(multiple sheets, up to 17” wide)
❏Rear manual feed slot
(one sheet only, up to 17” wide)
❏Front manual feed slot
(one sheet only, up to 16” wide)
It’s very important to use the correct paper path and to load the correct number of sheets. For example, you can load only one sheet at a time in the front and rear slots, and poster board can be inserted only in the front slot. If you need to make sure the paper stays flat, use the rear or front slot.
The following table shows which path to choose for the type of media you are using and the maximum number of sheets you can load for the different types of special Epson media.
The letter A stands for the auto sheet feeder, R stands for the rear manual feed slot, and F stands for the front manual feed slot.
Note: Do not leave paper in the printer for a long period of time; its quality will deteriorate. Epson recommends that you remove the paper from the printer after printing.
