Output tray
The output tray is located on the top of the printer. Since printouts

tray. This tray can hold up to 250 sheets.

tray.

You can print on special media which include Epson paper such 
as the following. 
Note:
Since the quality of any particular brand or type of media may be changed 
by the manufacturer at any time, Epson cannot guarantee the quality of 
any type of media. Always test samples of media stock before purchasing 
large quantities or printing large jobs.

Caution:
Do not use window envelopes. The plastic on most window 
envelopes will melt when it comes into contact with the fuser.
Note:
❏Depending on the quality of envelopes, the printing environment, 
or the printing procedure, envelopes might be wrinkled. Make a trial 
print run before you print on a lot of envelopes.
❏Duplex printing is not available for envelopes.
When loading envelopes, you should make paper settings as 
shown below:
❏Make settings on the Basic Settings in the printer driver.
❏You can also make these settings on the Tray Menu in the 
control panel. See  Tray Menu on page 229.
Please note the following when handling this media.Paper Size:IB5, C6, MON, C10, DL, or C5
Paper Source:MP Tray (up to 15 sheets, or a 
stack up to 16.5 mm thick)
Paper Type:Normal
 
						

							60Paper Handling ❏When printing on envelopes, be sure to set the lever on the 
fuser unit to the envelope position before loading the 
envelopes. After printing envelopes, be sure to reset the lever 
to the original position. Printing on media other than 
envelopes when the lever is set to the envelope position may 
cause poor print quality because the printer fails to fix toner 
to the media. It also may cause paper jam and dirty printouts 
because of the toner that adheres to the rollers inside the 
printer. When this happens, reset the lever to the original 
position and print blank pages until the printouts are clean.
c
Caution:
Be careful not to touch the fuser, which is marked CAUTION 
HIGH TEMPERATURE, or the surrounding areas. If the 
printer has been in use, the fuser and the surrounding areas 
may be very hot. If you must touch one of these areas, open 
cover A and B, then wait 30 minutes to allow the heat to 
subside before doing so.
