Paper Handling

Loading paper

When loading special paper distributed by Epson, read the instruction sheets packed with the paper first.
Follow these steps to load paper:
Caution:
Do not load plain paper; this may damage your printer.
Move the handle to the front.
Push the top of the LCD screen to slide it up.
Adjust the LCD screen so that you can see it well.
Open the paper feeder.
Make sure the edge guides are slid to the sides.
Place your paper in the center, with the glossy side up.
Note:
Make sure paper is glossy side up to prevent smearing.
You can load paper up to a maximum of 20 sheets for photo papers, or 1 sheet for Photo Sticker.
Slide the edge guides against the paper. Make sure it is snug, but not so tight that the paper cannot move.
Attach the output tray.
Note:
Do not touch or allow anything to come into contact with the printed side of paper with a shiny finish. After printing on media, allow the ink to set for a few hours before handling them.
Leave enough space in front of the printer for the paper to be fully ejected.

Paper handling instructions

When storing printouts

Do not touch the printed side or stack your printouts until the ink is dry.
To avoid scratching the image, be sure not to rub the printed side of the paper. If the printed side is rubbed too strongly, ink may come off the paper.
Do not stack printouts with the image sides touching.
Do not stack printouts and conventional film photographs with the image sides touching.
If you stack printouts, place a sheet of plain paper or other absorbent paper between the individual prints.

When storing unused paper

Return any unused paper to the original package, and store it away from extreme temperatures, high humidity, and bright lights.

When displaying printouts

When displaying your printouts indoors, Epson recommends placing your printouts in glass frames to preserve the colors in your image.
Avoid displaying your printouts outdoors or in a place exposed to direct sunlight to prevent fading.
Note:
For best results, allow your prints to dry thoroughly for 24 hours before framing.
