Paper Handling Precautions

  • Read the instruction sheets supplied with the paper.

  • To achieve high-quality printouts with genuine Epson paper, use the paper in the environment stated on the sheets supplied with the paper.

  • Fan and align the edges of the paper before loading. Do not fan or curl photo paper. Doing so may damage the printable side.

  • If the paper is curled, flatten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled paper may cause paper jams and smears on the printout.

  • Paper feed problems may occur frequently for manual 2-sided printing when printing on one side of pre-printed paper. Reduce the number of sheets to half or less, or load one sheet of paper at a time if paper jams continue.

  • Make sure you are using long-grain paper. If you are not sure what type of paper you are using, check the paper packaging or contact the manufacturer to confirm the paper specifications.

  • Fan and align the edges of the envelopes before loading. When the stacked envelopes are puffed up with air, press them down to flatten them before loading.
