Envelopes
You can load up to 10 envelopes as shown. Select Plain paper as your Media Type setting and don’t use the Fine - 720 dpi Print Quality setting.
When printing on transfer paper, be sure to invert the image by selecting a Flip Horizontal option in your software or the printer driver. Follow the instructions in the paper package to iron the image onto a surface.
If ink smears when printing on envelopes or other thick media, set the adjust lever to the + position. To do this, open the printer cover and position the lever as shown. Then close the cover and print. (Be sure to return the lever to the 0 position before printing on other media.)
EPSON Photo Quality Index Cards
You can load up to 30 index cards with a support sheet (packed with the cards) or a sheet of plain paper beneath the stack. If ink smears on the cards, set the adjust lever to the + position, as described above.
EPSON Photo Quality Self Adhesive Sheets and Iron-On Transfer Paper
You should load these media one sheet at a time. Make sure your adhesive sheets are fully adhered to their backing sheet before you load it.
Printer Care
Cleaning the Print Heads
If your printed image is unexpectedly light or faint, or dots are missing from the image, you may need to clean the print heads. This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly.
Cleaning the print heads uses ink, so to conserve ink, clean them only if print quality declines.
Note:
If a B black ink out or A color ink out light is flashing or on, you need to replace an ink cartridge, not clean the print heads.
There are two ways to clean the print heads: (1) using the Head Cleaning utility in the printer driver, or (2) using the printer’s control panel buttons.
Using the Head Cleaning Utility
1.Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing, and the B black and A color ink out lights are off.
2.Access the printer driver.3.Click the Utility tab.4.Click the Head Cleaning icon.5.Follow the instructions on the screen to clean the print heads. Cleaning takes about two minutes, during which the printer makes some noise and the Ppower light flashes. It’s finished when the Ppower light stops flashing.
6.Now check if the print heads are clean and reset the cleaning function by running a nozzle check. Make sure paper is loaded in the printer, then click Print nozzle check pattern on the Head Cleaning utility screen.
Caution:
Never turn off the printer while the Ppower light is flashing.
If your print quality has not improved, repeat the steps above.Using the Control Panel
1.Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing, and that the B black and A color ink out lights are off.
