Choosing Paper
Note: Since the quality of any particular brand or type of paper
may be changed by the manufacturer at any time, Epson cannot
guarantee any particular brand or type of paper. Always test
samples of paper stock before purchasing large quantities or
printing large jobs.
Standard office paper-You can use the printer’s paper cassette
to automatically feed most types of 60 to 90 g/m
2
(16 to 24 lb)
paper. This typically includes such paper as copier paper, memo
sheets, cotton bond, and letterhead. If you feed paper or other
media manually from the manual feed tray, you can use 60 to
157g/m
2
(16 to 42 lb) paper.
For best results, use paper made especially for laser printers. Paper
made for plain-paper copiers is also a good choice.
If you want to use less expensive paper, test it thoroughly before
regular use. Paper should be of good quality and relatively smooth.
Also keep in mind that if the paper is textured or too rough, the
printed output may not be clear.
Some letterheads use inks or dyes that may smear or come off
when subjected to the high temperature of the fuser. Try a few
sheets before you print on letterhead or other special paper.
Be sure to load letterhead and forms face-down in the paper
cassette with the top edge toward the front of the printer.
Special paper-You can use colored paper as long as it meets the
weight limits given above for standard office paper. Do not,
however, use coated paper (paper to which a clear or colored
coating has been added).
