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 or folded, flatten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled or folded paper may cause paper feeding problems and smears on the printouts.

  • 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.
