The paper does not have any binder holes.

Multiple pages feed

Make sure the paper stack fits under the  arrow mark inside the edge guide.
Make sure the edge guide is snug against the left edge of the paper.
Make sure the paper is not curled or folded. If so, flatten it or curl it slightly toward the opposite side before loading.
Remove the stack of paper and make sure that the paper is not too thin.
See Paper
Fan the edges of the stack to separate the sheets, then reload the paper.
If too many copies of a file are being printed, check the Copies setting in your printer driver as follows, and also check in your application.
For Windows, check the Copies setting on the Page Layout window.
For Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.4, check the Copies setting in the Copies & Pages setting in the Print dialog box.

See the printer driver online help for details.

The paper jams

If the paper is stuck inside the printer, open the printer cover, then remove all of the paper inside, including any torn pieces. Close the printer cover. If paper remains near the sheet feeder, gently pull it out. Then carefully reload paper and press the  paper button to resume printing.
Note:
If you cannot easily remove a foreign object, do not use force and do not disassemble the printer. Call your dealer for assistance.
If your paper jams frequently, make sure of the following:
The paper is smooth, not curled or wrinkled.
You are using high quality paper.
The printable side of the paper is face up in the sheet feeder.
The paper stack was fanned before loading.
The paper is not loaded above the  arrow mark inside the edge guide.
The number of sheets in the paper stack does not exceed the limit specified for that paper.
See Loading capacities for Epson special media
The edge guide is snug against the left edge of the paper.
The printer is on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base in all directions. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted.

Paper is improperly loaded

If you have loaded the paper too far into the printer, the printer cannot feed the paper correctly. Turn the printer off and gently remove the paper. Then turn the printer on and reload the paper correctly.

Paper is not ejected fully or is wrinkled

If the paper does not eject fully, press the  paper button, then open the printer cover and remove the paper. Also, check the Paper Size setting in your application or printer settings. See the online help for details.
If the paper is wrinkled when it comes out, it may be damp or too thin. Load a new stack of paper.
Note:
Store any unused paper in its original packaging in a dry area.

The CD/DVD tray is ejected or not inserted correctly when sending a CD/DVD print job

Reinsert the CD/DVD tray correctly.
See Positioning a CD/DVD
If the tray is ejected when you start a CD/DVD print job, the printer is not ready. Wait until you see a message on your screen asking you to insert the tray. Then reinsert the tray and press the  paper button.
