Insert the paper, printable side up, against the right edge guide and behind the tab. The printable side is usually whiter or glossier than the other side.
Always load paper short edge first, even for landscape printing.
You can load up to about 120 sheets of plain paper. See Special Papers for capacity guidelines on special paper, such as photo or matte paper.
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 Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy. See Special Papers for more information.

You can print on up to 10 envelopes at a time. However, to help the last envelope feed easily, load one extra envelope. For example, load 11 envelopes to print on 10 of them.

Press down on the stack of envelopes to flatten them before loading. If print quality declines, load one envelope at a time.

Special Papers
You can achieve good results with most types of plain bond paper. Coated papers, however, provide superior printouts because they absorb less ink.
Epson® provides special papers that are formulated for the ink used in Epson ink jet printers and recommends these papers to ensure high-quality results.
Note:
When you use special paper, check the package for additional instructions on loading and using the paper.

Return unused paper to its original package as soon as you finish printing. To keep your printouts looking their best, see Storing and Displaying Your Prints.
Caution:
If your Epson special paper includes a cleaning sheet, don’t use it with this printer; the sheet may jam inside your printer.
