About Print Media
Using paper that is not appropriate for the printer can cause paper jams, image quality problems, or
printer failure. To achieve the best performance from your printer, we recommend you to use only the
paper described in this section.
When using paper other than that recommended, contact the Epson local representative office or an
authorised dealer.
Print Media Usage Guidelines
The printer tray accommodates various sizes and types of paper and other specialty media. Follow
these guidelines when loading paper and media:
❏ Fan paper or other specialty media before loading in the multipurpose feeder (MPF).
❏ Do not print on label stock once a label has been removed from a sheet.
❏ Use only paper envelopes. Do not use envelopes with windows, metal clasps, or adhesives with
release strips.
❏ Print all envelopes single-sided only.
❏ Some wrinkling and embossing may occur when printing envelopes.
❏ Do not overload the paper tray. Do not load print media above the fill line on the inside of the paper
width guides.
❏ Adjust the paper width guides to fit the paper size.
❏ If excessive jams occur, use paper or other media from a new package.

Warning:
Do not use conductive paper such as origami paper, carbonic paper or conductively-coated paper.
When paper jam occurs, it may cause short-circuit and eventually a fire accident.
