5. Before you load paper, make sure the printable surface
faces up. For coated papers, the printable side is whiter
than the other side. For glossy paper and transparencies,
the printable side is face up when the cut corner is
positioned as shown in the illustration below.
6. Change the printer driver settings so they are appropriate
for the paper or transparency film you loaded.
Loading Envelopes
For detailed specifications on the thickness and weight of the
envelopes you can load, see “Printer Specifications.” Do not
use envelopes that are curled or folded, or ones that are too
thin; they may curl during printing. Also, do not choose
720 dpi resolution for envelope printing.
1. Make sure you set the paper thickness and thickness
adjustment levers to the correct positions for envelope
printing, as described above.
2. You can load up to 10 envelopes in the sheet feeder with
the printable side facing up as shown.
3. Adjust the left edge guide so the envelopes feed straight
into the paper path.
4. Change the printer driver settings so they are appropriate
for the envelopes you loaded.
Paper Handling Problems
This section describes how to prevent paper jams and ensure
that paper feeds properly.
Paper jam problems
If paper jams inside the printer frequently, try the following:
❏
Use a higher quality paper that is suitable for ink jet
printers and is not too thin, too thick, or rough. For best
quality, use EPSON special coated and high-quality
glossy papers. See “Printer Specifications” for paper
specifications.
❏
Fan the stack of paper before you load it.
❏
If you loaded plain paper, try turning the stack over. The
printable side may have been facing down.
❏
Do not load too many sheets in the sheet feeder. You can
load up to 100 sheets of plain paper, 70 sheets of special
coated paper, 10 envelopes, 50 sheets of transparency film
(with one sheet of plain paper beneath the stack), or 30
sheets of high-quality glossy paper (with one sheet of
plain paper beneath the stack).
Paper feeding problems
If paper does not feed properly, the most likely causes are:
❏
Paper is curled or folded. Use flat, undamaged paper.
❏
The paper is of poor quality; use a better quality paper.
❏
The paper is too thin or thick; see “Printer Specifications”
for paper size and type specifications.
❏
The paper was exposed to excess humidity, over 60%. See
“Printer Specifications” for the required environmental
conditions.
❏
The left edge guide is too tight or too loose; adjust it for
the size of the paper.
❏
Too many sheets are loaded in the sheet feeder. You can
load up to 100 sheets of plain paper, 70 sheets of special
coated paper, 10 envelopes, 50 sheets of transparency film
(with one sheet of plain paper beneath the stack), or
30 sheets of high-quality glossy paper (with one sheet of
plain paper beneath the stack).
Printer Care
Cleaning the Print Heads
The printer periodically cleans its print heads automatically,
so normally you should not need to manually activate a
cleaning cycle. However, if print quality diminishes, you can
run a cleaning cycle to enable the nozzles to deliver ink
properly.
