							Paper Handling
Introduction to Using, Loading, and Storing Media
You can achieve good results with most types of plain paper. However, coated papers provide superior prints because
they absorb less ink.
Epson provides special papers that are formulated for the ink used in Epson ink jet printers, and recommends these
papers to ensure high-quality results.
For more details on Epson special media, see “Ink and Paper” on page 182.
When loading special paper distributed by Epson, read the instruction sheets packed with the paper first and keep the
following points in mind.
Note:
❏Load the paper into the paper cassette printable side down. The printable side is usually whiter or glossier. See the
instruction sheets packed with the paper for more information. Some types of paper have cut corners to help identify the
correct loading direction.
❏If the paper is curled, flatten it or curl it slightly in the opposite direction before loading. Printing on curled paper may
cause ink to smear on your prints.
Selecting which tray to use and its loading capacities
Refer to the following table to select the paper cassette tray and its loading capacities according to the type and size of
the media you are using. WP-4511/4515/4521/4525/4530/4531/4535/4540/4545     User’s Guide
