■ Do not load too many sheets at once. You can load up to 120 sheets of lettersize plain paper, 80 sheets of matte, or 20 sheets of photo paper. Load other papers one sheet at a time. See your on-screen Epson Information Center for more information. ■ Do not load paper with holes punched in it. ■ If paper is jammed, follow these steps: 1. Gently pull out jammed paper from the output tray or sheet feeder. 2. If paper is stuck inside, turn off your Epson printer. 3. Open the scanner, remove the jammed paper and torn pieces, close the scanner, and turn the printer back on. Print Quality Problems If you have any problems with the copy or print quality, try these solutions: ■ Make sure the document is placed flat against the scanner glass and your Epson printer is not tilted or placed on an uneven surface. ■ Load the paper printable side up (usually the whiter, brighter, or glossy side). ■ Make sure your paper isn't damp or curled. ■ Use a support sheet with special paper (such as a sheet of plain paper beneath the special paper sheet) or load your paper one sheet at a time. Remove sheets from the output tray so not too many collect at a time. ■ Make sure that the paper support extensions are fully extended (see page 5). ■ Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper size and paper type settings on the control panel or in your printer software (see page 28). ■ For the best print quality, use Epson special paper (see page 7) and genuine Epson ink cartridges (see page 33). ■ If you notice light or dark bands across your printouts or they are too faint, you may need to clean the print head (see page 32). This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Run a nozzle check as described on page 31 to see if the print head needs cleaning. ■ If you notice jagged vertical lines, you may need to align the print head. See your on-screen Epson Information Center for instructions. 40 Solving Problems

Print Quality Problems
If you have any problems with the copy or print quality, try these solutions:
Make sure the document is placed flat against the scanner glass and your
Epson printer is not tilted or placed on an uneven surface.
Load the paper printable side up (usually the whiter, brighter, or glossy side).
Make sure your paper isn’t damp or curled.
Use a support sheet with special paper (such as a sheet of plain paper beneath
the special paper sheet) or load your paper one sheet at a time. Remove sheets
from the output tray so not too many collect at a time.
Make sure that the paper support extensions are fully extended (see page 5).
Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper size and paper type
settings on the control panel or in your printer software (see page 28).
For the best print quality, use Epson special paper (see page 7) and genuine
Epson ink cartridges (see page 33).
If you notice light or dark bands across your printouts or they are too faint,
you may need to clean the print head (see page 32). This unclogs the nozzles
so they can deliver ink properly. Run a nozzle check as described on page 31
to see if the print head needs cleaning.
If you notice jagged vertical lines, you may need to align the print head. See
your on-screen
Epson Information Center
for instructions.
