Problems With Paper Feeding - Epson Stylus Photo 1280 Printer Basics Manual

Problems with Paper
Feeding
Too many copies are printing.
Check the Copies setting in both your
printer software and application.
Paper doesn't eject fully or is
wrinkled.
■
If the paper doesn't eject fully, you
may have set the wrong paper size.
Press the b maintenance button to
eject the paper, then select the
correct paper size.
■
If it's wrinkled when it ejects, the
paper may be damp or too thin.
Reload new paper.
Paper doesn't feed correctly or jams
in the printer.
■
If paper doesn't feed, remove it
from the sheet feeder, reload it
against the right edge, then slide the
left edge guide against the paper.
■
If multiple pages feed at once,
remove the stack from the sheet
feeder, fan the edges to separate the
sheets, and carefully reload it.
■
If paper jams, press the
b maintenance button for
several seconds to clear the jam.
If that doesn't work, turn off the
printer and gently pull the paper
forward (toward the output tray) to
pull it out. Reload the paper and
press the b maintenance button.
■
If you try to print while the
b maintenance light is on, your
paper won't feed properly. Press
the b maintenance button to turn
off the light before you print.
If your paper loads incorrectly or jams
frequently:
■
Use new, smooth, high-quality
paper, loaded printable side up.
■
Don't load paper above the arrow
mark on the left edge guide.
■
Place the paper against the right
edge and slide the left edge guide
against it, but not too tightly.
Roll paper doesn't feed correctly.
■
To load paper correctly, gently hold
the paper in place with your hand
while you press the z button.
Don't force the paper to feed into
the printer. Allow it to feed
automatically.
■
Use a triangle or other tool to
make sure the end of the roll is cut
perpendicular to the edges. If the
end is cut on a diagonal, the paper
may not feed smoothly.
