You can load
paper up to this size in the paper cassette: Legal
(8.5 × 14 inches [216 × 356 mm]).
Note: Before
loading paper, make sure your product is not currently printing,
scanning, or copying.
Open the front
cover.
Pull out the paper cassette until it stops.
Squeeze the tab on the right edge guide and slide the edge
guides outward.
Do one of the following:
Insert paper
into the cassette with the glossy or printable side facedown and
slide it in until it stops.
Note: Make
sure the paper is loaded against the rear of the
cassette.
For legal-size paper, extend the legal paper
guide and load paper using the guide line as shown.
Insert up to
10 envelopes with the printable side facedown and flap edge right,
as shown.
Load a single sheet of loose-leaf or other
paper with holes facing as shown. Load paper printable side up and
slide it in until it stops. Select Letterhead as the paper type setting.
Note:
Automatic 2-sided printing is not available for pre-punched
paper.
To load a sheet of paper longer than legal
size, open the paper support and insert the paper as shown. Select
User-Defined as the paper size
setting.
Note: Make
sure the end of the paper is cut perpendicularly. A slanted cut may
cause paper feed problems. Do not touch the paper while it is being
fed or ejected from the printer.
Slide the edge guides against the paper, but not too
tightly.
Note: For
plain paper, make sure the paper fits under the tabs on the edge
guides.
Slide the cassette back into the product until it
stops.
Select the size and type of the paper you loaded on the
product LCD screen and select OK.
Note: If you
are printing on letterhead, make sure you select Letterhead as the paper type setting. Make
sure you select the correct paper size setting. For letterhead
paper, if you print on paper that is smaller than the setting in
the printer driver, the printer may print beyond the edges of the
paper which can lead to ink smears on your printouts and excess ink
building up inside the printer. Borderless printing and 2-sided
printing are not available for letterhead paper. Printing on
letterhead may be slower.
Extend the output tray.
Note: Do not
remove or insert the paper cassette during printing.
Always follow these paper loading guidelines:
Load only the recommended number of sheets.
Load paper short edge first and printable side
down.
Load letterhead or pre-printed paper top edge
first.
Make sure the paper is under the tabs on the edge
guides and not sticking out from the rear end of the cassette.
If the paper is curled, flatten it or curl it
slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on
curled paper may cause paper jams and smears on the printout.
Do not use papers that are wavy, torn or cut,
folded, damp, have stickers, or are too thick or too thin.
Fan and align the edges of envelopes before
loading.
If you have trouble loading a stack of envelopes,
press each envelope flat before loading it or load one envelope at
a time.
Do not load envelopes that are curled, folded, or
too thin, or that have plastic windows or exposed adhesive
flaps.
Paper feed problems may occur frequently for manual
2-sided printing when printing on one side of pre-printed paper.
Reduce the number of sheets to half or less, or load one sheet of
paper at a time if paper jams continue.
For pre-punched paper, load a single sheet of
defined-size plain paper with holes at the left or right. Adjust
the print position of your file to avoid printing over the holes.
Automatic 2-sided printing is not available for pre-punched
paper
For paper longer than Legal size, make sure the end
of the paper is cut perpendicularly. A diagonal cut may cause paper
feed problems. Long paper cannot be held in the output tray.
Prepare a box or tray to make sure that paper does not fall on the
floor. Do not touch paper that is being fed or ejected. It could
injure your hand or cause print quality to decline.
Check the paper package for any additional loading
instructions.
To achieve high-quality printouts with genuine Epson
paper, use the paper in the environment stated on the instructions
supplied with the paper.
If you use paper with binder holes, load only one
sheet at a time in only these sizes: Letter
(8.5 × 11 inches [216 × 279 mm]),
A4 (8.3 × 11.7 inches
[210 × 297 mm]), A5
(5.8 × 8.2 inches [148 × 210 mm]),
A6 (4.1 × 5.8 inches
[105 × 148 mm]), B5
(7.2 × 10.1 inches [182 × 257 mm]), or
Legal (8.5 × 14 inches
[216 × 356 mm]).
