Loading Paper

You should also follow these guidelines:
■
Always load the short edge first, even when you’re printing landscape-oriented pictures.
■
When using special papers, check the paper package for additional instructions. Some
papers require using a support sheet included in the package.
Note: Always keep unused paper in the original package and store it flat to prevent curling.

Storing Your Photos
With proper care, photographs from your Epson Stylus Photo R340 will last for many years.
The special Epson inks designed for your printer are formulated to achieve improved
lightfastness when used with Epson papers for prints that are properly displayed or stored.
As with traditional photos, proper care will minimize color changes and lengthen display life:
■ For display, Epson recommends that prints be framed under glass or a protective plastic
sleeve to protect them from atmospheric contaminants like humidity, cigarette smoke,
and high levels of ozone.
■
As with all photographs, keep your prints away from high temperatures and humidity and
out of direct sunlight.
■
For proper storage, Epson recommends that you keep prints in a photo album or plastic
photo storage box in acid-free, archival sleeves commonly available from most camera
stores.
Be sure to follow any other storage and display instructions included in the paper package.
