Loading Paper

You can print on a variety of paper types and sizes. For details, see page 6.

3. Slide the edge guide to the left.

Loading Paper 5

4. Insert paper, glossy or printable side up, short edge first, against the right side

and beneath the tab. (Load letterhead or pre-printed paper top edge first.)

You can load up to 120 sheets of letter-size plain paper or 20 sheets of photo

paper.

Note:

The type of paper you choose affects the way your printout looks. If you are just

printing text or a rough draft, plain paper is fine. However, for the best results, you’ll

want to use one of Epson’s special ink jet papers designed for your printer. See the

next section for more information.

5. Slide the edge guide against the paper, but not too tightly.

Note:

For instructions on loading envelopes, see your on-screen Epson Information Center.

Always load paper short edge

first, even for landscape printing.
