You can load roll paper using the roll paper holder (included with the EPSON Stylus
Photo 870; optional for the EPSON Stylus Photo 1270 [part number C811062]) or
cut paper from the roll and load it as a single sheet. When you're finished printing,
you need to remove the roll paper carefully from the printer.

Loading Roll Paper

1. Before loading the roll, make sure the
edge is cut cleanly—at a 90 degree angle
in each corner—to ensure proper
loading. If necessary, trim the edge using
a straight-edge tool or triangle. (13-inch
wide Photo Paper on a roll includes
cutting lines on the back to guide you.)
