Paper Feeding Problems

■
If paper doesn't feed, remove it from the sheet feeder. Flip through the stack to
separate the sheets a little. Then reload the paper against the right edge guide,
and slide the left edge guide against the paper (but not too tightly). Make sure
the paper is not in front of the feeder guard.

and 100 sheets of plain paper). See the User's Guide for more information.

Print Quality Problems

If you have any problems with the copy or print quality, try these solutions:
■
Make sure the document is placed flat against the document table glass and
the CX5000 Series is not tilted or placed on an uneven surface.
■
Load the paper printable side up (usually the whiter, brighter, or glossy side).
■
Make sure your paper isn't damp or curled.
■
Use a support sheet with special paper or load your paper one sheet at a time.
Remove sheets from the output tray so not too many collect at a time.
■
Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper size and paper type
settings on the control panel or in your printer software (see page 26).
■
For the best print quality, use Epson special paper (see page 26) and genuine
Epson ink cartridges (see page 34).
