Media Loading Guidelines
❏ See page 1 for a list of Epson papers that can be used with 
this printer. 
❏ Load paper short edge first, even when printing landscape-
oriented pictures. 
❏ 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. Make sure you check any instructions included with 
the paper.) 
❏ In addition to the 
Media Type (or Paper Type) setting, 
remember to select the correct 
Paper Size for your media.
❏ If the package includes protective sheets between the sheets 
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.
Note: 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)
Humidity: 40 to 60% RH
Store printouts on Photo Quality Glossy Film and Self Adhesive 
Sheets under these conditions:
