Paper Handling Problems
This section describes how to prevent paper jams and ensure
that paper feeds properly.
Paper Jam Problems
Use a higher quality paper that is suitable for ink jet printers
and is not too thin, too thick, or rough. For best quality, use
EPSON special coated and high-quality glossy papers. See
Appendix A for paper specifications.
Fan the stack of paper before you load it.
If you loaded plain paper, try turning the stack over. The
printable side may have been facing down.
Do not load too many sheets in the sheet feeder. You can load
up to 100 sheets of plain paper, 70 sheets of special coated
paper, 10 envelopes, 50 sheets of transparency film (with one
sheet of plain paper beneath the stack), or 30 sheets of
high-quality glossy paper (with one sheet of plain paper
beneath the stack).
Paper Feeding Problems
The paper was not installed properly. Remove it, fan the paper
and tap it on a flat surface. Insert the stack into the printer
straight up and then rest it against the paper support.
Paper is curled or folded. Use flat, undamaged paper.
The paper is of poor quality; use a better quality paper.
The paper is too thin or thick; see Appendix A for paper size
and type specifications.
