3. Squeeze the tab on the edge guide and slide it left.

Loading Paper

4. Insert the paper, printable side up, against the right edge guide and beneath

the tabs. (The printable side is whiter or brighter on some papers.) Always

load paper short edge first, even for landscape printing.

5. Slide the left edge guide against the left edge of the paper (but not too tightly).

You can load up to 100 sheets of plain paper at 20 lb (75 g/m2) and up to 20

sheets of matte or photo paper (see the online Epson Information Center for

capacity guidelines on other paper types).

Note:

The type of paper you choose affects the way your printout looks, so be sure to select

the correct paper for your job. If you are just printing a rough draft, plain paper is fine.

However, for the best results, you’ll want to use one of Epson’s special ink jet papers

designed for your printer.
