 Checking the paper path
Loading media
Some media types cannot be loaded in the auto sheet feeder, and require you to load them into a manual feed slot. Always check the media type and its paper path before loading it in the printer.

Loading paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder
Follow the steps below to load the paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder.
 |
Make sure the printer is turned on and is in the READY state.
|
 |
Flip up the paper guide and pull out its extensions.
|
 |
Push the center of the top of the output tray cover to open it.
|
 |
Pull out the output tray extension.
|
 |  |
Note: |
| |
|
Make sure you pull out the output tray until the triangle marks on the output tray and the left side of the printer are aligned.
|
|
 |
Squeeze the edge guide and slide it to the left so that it is slightly wider than the width of your paper.
|
 |
Fan a stack of paper, and then tap it on a flat surface to make the edges even.
|
If the paper is curled, flatten it before you load it. If it curls excessively and jams frequently, stop using it.
 |
Hold the left and right edges of the paper. Align the right edge of the paper to the right, and then insert the paper until it meets resistance. Squeeze the edge guide and slide it against the left side of the paper.
|
You’re ready to print.
 |
Caution: |
|
|
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.
|
|
|
Note: |
|
|
If A3 or larger size plain paper skews when printing, flip out the edge guide located on the right side of the Auto Sheet Feeder to help the paper feed straight.
|
|
Loading paper into the front manual feed slot

|
|
|
Using the rear sheet guide, insert the paper into the rear manual feed slot flush with the right edge guide.
|
|
|
Slide the edge guide on the rear sheet guide until it is flush with the paper.
|
|
|
Guide the paper into the slot and feed it into the printer until it meets resistance. Maintain a constant pressure against the paper (approx. 3 seconds) until you feel the printer pull the paper in slightly.
|
| |
Note: |
|
|
Pull out the output tray extension according to the paper size.
