❏Leave enough space in front of the printer for the paper to be fully ejected.

❏Don’t load paper above the arrow mark on the left edge guide.

❏Load the printable side face-up. It’s often brighter 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, follow the instructions that came with the paper.

Printing CDs and DVDs

Your printer includes a special tray that lets you print customized text, graphics, and photos directly on any ink jet- printable CD or DVD. The Epson Print CD software makes it easy to import your own photos, add text, and modify your designs with a variety of special effects. You can print on both regular 12-cm and 8-cm CDs and DVDs.

Cleaning the Rollers

Before you print on CDs or DVDs, it’s a good idea to clean the rollers inside your printer. You can do this by feeding and ejecting several sheets of plain paper.

1.Make sure your printer is turned on and several sheets of letter-size paper are loaded.

2.Press the ) paper button to feed a sheet of paper through the printer.

3.Repeat step 2 several times.

Inserting a CD or DVD

Make sure the data, music, or video is burned on your

ink jet-printable CDs or DVDs before you print. Otherwise, dirt or scratches on the surface may cause errors when you burn the data. If you plan to print a large number of CDs or DVDs, it’s a good idea to print a small sample, then wait a day and check the quality to make sure it’s satisfactory.

If you want to check the print position or color, see your on-screen User’s Guide or Printer Basics book.

Before you insert a CD or DVD, make sure the printer is turned on. Otherwise, the disc may not be positioned correctly. Then follow these steps:

1.Push in the output tray extension, but leave the tray open.

2.Open the front cover, then set the front tray to the CD/DVD position by pulling the tray lever down.

Caution: Before you move the tray lever, make sure no paper or other objects are on the front tray and the front tray is not extended.

Do not touch the front tray when you move the tray lever.

Do not move the tray lever while the printer is printing.

3.Place the CD or DVD on the CD/DVD tray with the white or printable side face-up. Make sure the disc lies flat in the tray.
