Media Loading Guidelines
❏ See page 1 for a list of EPSON papers that can be used with
this printer.
❏ Except for envelopes, load paper short edge first, even when
printing landscape-oriented pictures. Load envelopes flap
edge first with the flap side down.
❏ Always handle sheets by the edges, and don’t touch the
printable surface.
❏ Be sure to load the printable (whiter) side of the media face
up in the sheet feeder.
❏ Do not load paper higher than the arrow mark on the left
edge guide. (Some papers should be loaded just one sheet at
a time.)
❏ In addition to the
Media Type (or Paper Type) setting,
remember to select the correct
Paper Size for your media.
❏ If the special media has protective sheets between each sheet
of media, be sure to remove the protective sheets before
printing.
❏ Some special media have a cut corner that you need to
position in the upper right when loading.
Since the quality of any particular brand or type of paper
may be changed by the manufacturer at any time, EPSON
cannot attest to the quality of any non-EPSON brand or
type of paper. Always test samples of paper stock before
purchasing large quantities or printing large jobs.
Poor quality paper may reduce print quality and cause
paper jams and other problems. If you encounter problems,
switch to a higher grade of paper.
Do not load curled or folded paper.

Temperature: 59 to 77 °F (15 to 25 °C)

Store printouts on Photo Quality Glossy Film and Self
Adhesive Sheets under these conditions:
