Loading Paper

You can load up to 120 sheets of plain paper, 100 sheets of matte paper, and 20

sheets of most other photo papers (see page 5 for a list). Load transfer paper and

adhesive sheets one sheet at a time.

1. Open the paper support and pull out the extension. Then open the front tray

and pull out the extensions.

2. Slide the edge guide left.

3. Insert the paper, glossy or printable side up, against the right side. Then slide

the edge guide against the paper.

Letter-size paper 4 × 6-inch paper

spr280_qg.book Page 4 Monday, June 4, 2007 2:20 PM

Using Special Papers 5

Always load paper short edge first, even for landscape printing. Load letterhead or

pre-printed paper top edge first, facing up. Make sure the paper stack fits under

the rarrow mark inside the left edge guide.

Note:

The type of paper you choose affects the way your printout looks. If you are just printing

a rough draft of an image, plain paper is fine. However, 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 Premium Photo Paper Glossy (see below for

more information).

For instructions on loading envelopes, see your on-screen User’s Guide.

Using Special Papers

Epson offers a wide array of high quality papers, making it easy to maximize the

impact of your photos, presentations, and creative projects.

You can purchase genuine Epson ink and paper at Epson Supplies CentralSM at

www.epson.com/ink3 (U.S. sales) or www.epson.ca (Canadian sales). You can

also purchase supplies from an Epson authorized reseller. To find the nearest one,

call 800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766).

Basic Printing 7

Basic Printing

This section describes the basic steps for printing a photo or document stored on

your Windows®or Macintosh®computer, and printing directly on an ink jet-

printable CD or DVD. For detailed instructions on printing, see the on-screen

User’s Guide.

Before you start, make sure you’ve installed your printer software and connected

the printer to your computer as described on the Start Here sheet.

Tip:

It’s a good idea to check for updates to your Epson Stylus Photo R280 Series software.

See “Checking for Software Updates” on page 22 for instructions.

Printing in Windows

1. Load paper (see page 4).

2. Open a photo or document in a printing program.

Tip:

For the best quality printing, select PhotoEnhance™(also known as Auto Photo

Correction). This automatically adjusts brightness, contrast, and saturation to best

effect and uses a sophisticated face recognition technology to optimize image

tones in portraits. If your photo includes a face with an intentional color cast, such

as a bronze statue, you may want to turn off PhotoEnhance to retain the special

color effects.

6. If you want to reduce or enlarge your printout or print double-sided, click the

Page Layout tab and select settings as necessary.
