Paper 

Always load paper into the sheet feeder short edge first.

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.

Use papers under these conditions:

Temperature: 59 to 77 °F (15 to 25 °C)
Humidity:

40 to 60% RH
