Paper Handling
Introduction to Using, Loading, and Storing Media
You can achieve good results with most types of plain paper. However, coated papers
provide superior printouts because they absorb less ink.
Epson provides special papers that are formulated for the ink used in Epson ink jet printers,
and recommends these papers to ensure high-quality results.
“Paper” on page 184
When loading special paper distributed by Epson, read the instruction sheets packed with
the paper first and keep the following points in mind.
Note:
OLoad the paper into the paper cassette printable side down. The printable side is usually whiter
or glossier. 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.
OIf 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 printout.
Loading capacities for media
Refer to the table below for the loading capacities of paper and other media.

Paper Handling 18

*1 The loading capacity for manual 2-sided printing is 30 sheets.

Note:
The availability of paper varies by location.
