Paper Tray Loading Capacities and Guidelines
The loading capacity of the paper trays depends on the type of paper youre
loading. Use this table to determine the number of sheets you can load:
When youre loading the paper trays, follow these guidelines:
Dont touch the printable surface of the paper. Fingerprints may affect
print quality.
Keep unused media in its packaging and store it in a cool, dry place to
avoid a decline in quality. Avoid storing media or printouts where they
will be exposed to high temperature, humidity, or direct sunlight.
Place the printable side of the paper face-down in the tray. If youre
using preprinted paper, such as letterhead or forms, load it with the top
edge leading into the printer.
Some EPSON special media have cut corners to help you determine the
correct loading position for the paper path you are using:
