Choosing the Correct Paper Path
The printer provides three paths for loading media:
❏ Auto sheet feeder
(multiple sheets, up to
17” wide)
❏ Rear manual feed slot
(one sheet only, up to
17” wide)
❏ Front manual feed slot
(one sheet only, up to
16” wide)
It’s very important to use the correct paper path and to load
the correct number of sheets. For example, you can load only
one sheet at a time in the front and rear slots, and poster board
can be inserted only in the front slot. If you need to make sure
the paper stays flat, use the rear or front slot.
The following table shows which path to choose for the type
of media you are using and the maximum number of sheets
you can load for the different types of special Epson media.
The letter
A stands for the auto sheet feeder, R stands for the
rear manual feed slot, and
F stands for the front manual
feed slot.
Note: Do not leave paper in the printer for a long period of time; its
quality will deteriorate. Epson recommends that you remove the
paper from the printer after printing.
* Always load only 1 sheet at a time in the front or rear slot.
