Loading Paper
Single Sheets
- Open the output tray and its extension.
- Slide the left edge guide to the left.
- Insert the paper, printable side up, against the right edge guide.
You can load up to 100 sheets of plain paper and up to 20 sheets of photo paper. (See Special Papers for capacity guidelines on other paper types.)
Note:
The type of paper you choose affects the way your printout looks, so be sure to select the correct paper for your job. If you are just printing a rough draft of an image, 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. For example, your photos will look great printed on Premium Glossy Photo Paper. See Special Papers for more information.
- Slide the left edge guide against the left edge of the paper (but not too tightly).
Follow these guidelines when loading paper:
- Don't load paper above the arrow on the left edge guide. Make sure the paper is under the tabs on the left and right edge guides.
- 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, check the package for special loading instructions.
Envelopes
- Open the output tray and its extension.
- Slide the left edge guide to the left.
- Load up to 10 envelopes at a time, flap edge left, printable side up, against the right edge guide.
Note:
For best results, press each envelope flat before loading, or load one envelope at a time.
- Slide the left edge guide against the envelopes (but not too tightly).
Select the following settings when printing on envelopes:
- Envelope as the paper Type or Media Type setting
- The correct envelope size as the Size or Paper Size setting
- Landscape as the Orientation setting
