About Exif Print
The Exif (Exchangeable Image File) Print format includes information about your
digital camera settings in JPEG/TIFF files so your printer and application can use
them to create accurate print settings. Most digital cameras store Exif Print
information such as shutter speed, metering, flash, exposure settings, resolution, and
lens use in the JPEG/TIFF image file. Your printer uses the information to ensure the
most accurate image reproduction.
About Your Software
The CD-ROM that came with your printer includes the software you need for
printing. See your Start Here sheet for installation instructions.
■Your printer driver runs your printer and lets you control how your documents
look. You can’t print from your computer without it.
Tip:
Periodically, it’s a good idea to check Epson’s support website for free updates to
your Epson Stylus Photo 1410 printing software. With Windows, you can also
click or Start, select Programs or All Programs, select EPSON, and click
EPSON Stylus Photo 1410 Series Driver Update for printer driver updates.
■Epson Print CD lets you design CD or DVD labels and print them directly onto
ink jet-printable CDs or DVDs.
■Epson CreativeZoneSM is Epson’s free photo project website where you can
combine your favorite photos, Epson papers, and your printer to create
unforgettable personalized craft projects. Your printer software installer lets you
add a link to the Epson CreativeZone on your desktop.
■Epson Web-To-Page®automatically adjusts web pages to fit your printed page.
No more cut-off edges! All you have to do is select Print on the Web-To-Page
toolbar in Internet Explorer. (Requires Windows 2000, XP, or XP Professional
x64 Edition with Internet Explorer 5.5 or later.)

You can load up to about 120 sheets of plain paper. See Special Papers for
capacity guidelines on special paper, such as photo or matte paper.
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 of an
image, 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. For example, your photos
will look great printed on Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy. See Special
Papers for more information.
5. Press in the release button on the left edge guide and slide the guide against the

Follow these guidelines when loading paper:
■Don’t load paper above the arrow on the left edge guide. Make sure the paper is
under the tabs on the left and right edge guides.
■Load the printable side face-up. It’s often glossier or whiter than the other side.
■Always load the short edge first, even when printing in landscape mode.
■Load letterhead or preprinted paper into the printer top edge first.
■If you experience paper feeding problems, try loading fewer sheets.
■When you use special paper, check the package for additional instructions on
loading and using the paper.
Caution:
If your Epson special paper includes a cleaning sheet, don’t use it with this
printer; the sheet may jam inside your printer.

Special Papers
You can achieve good results with most types of plain bond paper. Coated papers,
however, 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.
Note:
When you use special paper, check the package for additional instructions on
loading and using the paper.
Return unused paper to its original package as soon as you finish printing. To
keep your printouts looking their best, see Storing and Displaying Your Prints.
Caution:
If your Epson special paper includes a cleaning sheet, don’t use it with this
printer; the sheet may jam inside your printer.
