Make sure that the printable side of the paper is facing up 
when loading media into the sheet feeder. See the instruction 
sheets packed with the media to determine which side is the 
printable surface. Some types of media have cut corners to 
help identify the correct loading direction, as shown in the 
illustration.

Make sure that the paper stack fits under the arrow mark 
located on the inside surface of the left edge guide.

For more information on loading capacities for EPSON special 
media, see your online
