Paper Feed Problems; Print Quality Problems - Epson STYLUS PHOTO RX610 Series Basic Operation Manual

Paper feed problems

Paper does not feed correctly or is jammed.
■
If paper does not feed, remove it from the
sheet feeder. Fan the paper, load it against
the right side, and slide the left edge
guide against the paper (but not too
tightly).
■
Do not load paper above the c arrow
mark inside the left edge guide
(& "Loading Paper" on page 7).
■
If paper is stuck inside the printer, press
P On to turn it off. Open the scanner unit
and remove any paper inside, including
any torn pieces. Close the scanner unit. If
any paper remains near the sheet feeder,
gently pull it out. Then turn the printer
back on and carefully reload paper.
■
If paper jams frequently, make sure the
left edge guide is not pushed too tightly
against the paper. Try loading fewer
sheets of paper.
■
Make sure you are not using paper with
binder holes.
