User’s Guide Paper and Media Handling Paper and Media Handling Introduction to Using, Loading, and Storing Media You can achieve good results with most types of plain paper. However, Epson provides special types of paper that is formulated for the ink used in Epson ink jet products, and we recommend using this paper to ensure high-quality results. When loading special paper distributed by Epson, read the instruction sheets packed with the paper first and keep the following points in mind. Note: ❏ Load the paper into the rear paper feed printable side up. The printable side is usually whiter. See the instruction sheets packed with the paper for more information.
Some types of paper have cut corners to help identify the correct loading direction. ❏ If the paper is curled, flatten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled paper may cause ink to smear on your prints. Do not use the paper that is folded, wavy or torn. Storing paper Return unused paper to the original package as soon as you finish printing. Keep unused paper and prints away from high temperature, humidity, and direct sunlight. Selecting Paper Refer to the table below for the loading capacities of paper and other media. 13
