Exif Print

The Exif (Exchangeable Image File) Print format includes information about your

digital camera settings in JPEG/TIFF files so your printer and application can use

them to create accurate print settings. Most digital cameras store Exif Print

information such as shutter speed, metering, flash, exposure settings, resolution,

and lens use in the JPEG/TIFF image file. Your printer uses the information to

ensure the most accurate image reproduction.

Printing From Start to Finish 7

Printing From Start to Finish

Loading Paper

The type of paper you choose affects the way your printout looks, so be sure to

select the correct paper for your job. If you are just printing a rough draft, plain

paper is fine.

For the best results, you’ll want to use one of Epson’s special ink jet papers

designed for your printer. For example, your photos will look great printed on

Epson Ultra Premium Photo Paper Glossy. See “Selecting the Correct Paper Type”

on page 19 for more information.

Follow these steps to load paper in your printer.

1. Open the paper support and slide out its extension.

2. Open the front cover and slide out the front tray extensions.

8Printing From Start to Finish

3. Make sure the front tray is in the paper (lower) position. If it is not, push the

tray lever up to reposition the front tray.

Caution:

Before you move the tray lever, make sure no paper or other objects are on the

front tray and the front tray is not extended.

Do not touch the front tray when you move the tray lever.

Do not move the tray lever while the printer is printing.

4. Insert paper, printable side up, against the right edge guide and behind the

tab.

You can load up to 120 sheets of plain paper or up to 20 sheets of photo

paper. (See page 10 for capacity guidelines on other paper types.)

8 × 10-inch or

Letter-size paper

4 × 6-inch or

5 × 7-inch paper

Insert the paper against

the right edge guide and

behind this tab.

Loading Paper 9

5. Slide the left edge guide against the paper (but not too tightly).

Follow these guidelines when loading paper:

■Leave enough space in front of the printer for the paper to be fully ejected.

■Don’t load paper above the arrow mark on the left edge guide.

■Load the printable side face-up. It’s often brighter or whiter than the

other side.

■Always load the short edge first, even when printing in landscape mode.

■Load letterhead or preprinted paper into the printer top edge first.

■If you experience paper feeding problems, try loading fewer sheets.

■If you’re using special paper, follow the instructions that came with it.
