Selecting a paper source
You can set the printer to select a paper source containing the appropriate size of paper 
automatically, or specify a paper source manually, using the printer driver or the printer’s control 
panel. To access the printer driver, for Windows, see “Accessing the printer driver” on page 49, or 
for Macintosh, see “Accessing the printer driver” on page 103. And to use the printer’s control 
panel, see “Using the Control Panel Menus” on page 146.

For Macintosh:
Access the printer driver, select Printer Settings from the drop-down list and click the Basic 
Settings tab. Then, select Auto Selection from the Paper Source list and click Print.

Note:
❏If you make paper size settings or paper source settings in your application, these settings may override 
the printer driver settings.
❏If you select an envelope for the printer driver’s Paper Size setting, it can be fed only from the MP tray 
regardless of the printer driver’s Paper Source setting.
❏You can change the priority of the MP tray by using the MP Mode setting in the control panel’s 
Setup Menu. For details, see “Setup Menu” on page 153.
Loading Paper
This section describes how to load paper. If you use special media such as transparencies or 
envelopes, see also “Printing on Special Media” on page 42.

2. Load a stack of the desired paper with the printable surface down, then slide the guides against 
the sides of the stack to get a snug fit.
Note:
❏When loading the paper, insert the short edge first.
❏Do not load paper that exceeds the maximum stack height.
❏Straighten the paper before loading it. If curled paper is loaded, it may not feed correctly.
❏After loading paper, set the MP Tray Size / MP Type settings to match the loaded paper size on the 
control panel.
❏To print on the back side of previously printed paper, use the MP tray. The duplex printing cannot 
be used for this purpose.
Standard lower paper cassette and optional paper cassette unit
The paper sizes and types supported by the optional paper cassette unit are the same as the 
standard lower cassette unit. For more information, see “550-sheet Paper Cassette Unit” on page 
35.
The paper-loading procedure is the same for the standard lower cassette and the optional paper 
cassette unit.
In addition to plain paper, you can also use special media such as EPSON Color Laser Paper in the 
paper cassettes.
Follow these steps to load paper into the standard and optional paper cassette units. The 
illustrations show the standard lower cassette.
