Printing

This section describes the basic steps for printing with your EPSON 1000 ICS.

Loading Paper

Make sure your EPSON 1000 ICS and computer are turned on.

Place your paper against the right edge of the sheet feeder and slide the left edge guide
against the paper. (Don’t push the paper deeper into the feeder.)

Follow these guidelines when loading paper:

■

Load the printable side face-up. It’s usually whiter or brighter than the other side.

■

Load letterhead or preprinted paper into the EPSON 1000 ICS top edge first.

■

Don’t load paper above the mark on the left edge guide.

If you’re printing on envelopes, see page 15 for loading instructions.
