Load Paper for Documents

The product includes two paper cassettes.

•	Cassette 1 holds a variety of paper types and sizes for photos and documents, from 4 × 6-inch (10 × 15 cm) to legal-size (8.5 × 14 inches or 216 × 356 mm). You can load plain paper or one of Epson’s special ink jet papers.

•	Cassette 2 holds letter-, A4-, or legal-size plain paper or Epson Bright White paper.

For automatic two-sided printing, use plain paper or Epson Bright White Paper.

If you’re using plain paper, you can load up to 250 sheets; when using other paper types, be sure to check the recommended number of sheets.

1.	Pull out either paper cassette. For cassette 2, remove the clear plastic cover before loading paper.

Note:
If you are using legal-size paper, extend the paper cassette by pushing the tab and pulling out the end of the cassette as shown below.

2.	Slide the edge guides to the sides of the paper cassette.

3.	Slide the guide shown below to your paper size.

Note:
Make sure the paper is not sticking out from the end of the cassette.

Tip:
Fan the paper and align its edges before loading.

Load paper short edge first, no matter which way your document faces.
Load letterhead or pre-printed paper with the top edge facing the back of the paper cassette.
Do not load paper with holes punched in it.
Do not load transparencies.
Do not load paper above the  arrow marks on the edge guides.
Check the paper package for any additional loading instructions.

5.	Slide the edge guides against the edges of the paper, but not too tightly. Make sure the paper is under the tabs on the guides.

6.	If you are using cassette 2, replace the clear plastic cover.

7.	Insert the cassette back into the printer.

The paper may slide forward slightly as you insert the cassette. This is normal.
Keep the cassette flat as you insert it.
