sheet. Select Roll with the
Up and Down keys and press OK .

Tip If you have loaded a paper type whose name does not appear in the paper list (neither
in the driver nor in the front panel), you can choose a generic paper name instead. For
example, if you are loading HP Aquarella Art Paper or Epson Smooth Fine Art Paper, and
you don't find the exact name in the paper list, you can choose Fine art paper.

11. Look at the front panel; you may find some instructions there.

print. If the role is not aligned, follow the instructions on the front-panel display.
13. If the paper is loose on the roll, lightly rewind from the end of the spindle until tight.
NOTE If you have an unexpected issue at any stage of the paper loading process, see The
paper cannot be loaded successfully on page 116 .
Tip When prints fall into the basket, they can be torn or get ink marks from other prints. To avoid
this, catch your prints as they are cut from the roll and do not stack prints in the basket or turn
off the automatic cutter, see
Turn the automatic cutter on and off on page 38 , and use the Form
feed and cut key to release your print.
