Make sure the front tray is in the paper (lower) position. If it is not, push the tray lever up to reposition the front tray.

Caution: Before you move the tray lever, make sure no paper or other objects are on the front tray and the front tray is not extended.

Do not touch the front tray when you move the tray lever.

Do not move the tray lever while the printer is printing.

Note: If the tray is in the CD/DVD (upper) position when you turn the printer on, the error lights on the printer will flash. Move the tray to the lower position to clear the error.

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 Epson Ultra Premium Photo Paper Glossy. See Special Papers for more information.

If you're inserting a stack of paper, fan the stack and then tap it on a flat surface to even the edges before you insert it.

Make sure the front tray is in the paper (lower) position. Follow the instructions if you need to reposition the front tray.

Note: You may need to press down on the envelopes to flatten them before loading. If print quality declines when a stack of envelopes is loaded, load one envelope at a time.

Do not use envelopes that are curled or folded.

Flatten the flaps and the leading edge of the envelope before loading.

Avoid using envelopes that are too thin, as they may curl during printing.
