Loading Paper
5
You can load up to 100 sheets of plain paper, or 20 sheets of photo paper.
Load other special papers one sheet at a time.
Note:
The type of paper you choose affects the way your printout looks. If you are just
making a copy or printing a rough draft, 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 (see “Using Special Papers” for more information).
4. Slide the edge guide against the paper, but not too tightly.
Note:
For details on paper and instructions on loading envelopes, see your online User’s
Guide.

printing again. If quality does not improve, one of the ink cartridges may need to be
replaced. If that doesn’t help, contact Epson as described on page 44.
If you do not use your NX300/305 Series often, it is a good idea to print a few pages at
least once a month to maintain good print quality.

Printing and Copying Problems
■
Make sure your paper is loaded printable side up (usually the whiter, brighter,
or glossy side). Load it short edge first, and against the right edge guide. Don’t
load paper above the arrow mark inside the left edge guide.
■
Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper size and paper type
settings on the control panel when copying or faxing, or in your printer
software when printing from your computer (see page 30).
Error Indicators 41
■
■
Use the Automatic Document Feeder to fax or scan legal-size documents, but
not to copy them. Letter-size paper is automatically selected for copying. If
you copy a legal-size document, your image will be cropped.
Make sure your original is positioned against the back left corner of the
scanner glass. If the edges are cropped, move your original away from the
edges slightly.
Paper Feeding Problems
If paper doesn’t feed correctly when printing, remove the paper and flip through
the stack to separate the sheets. Reload the paper against the right side and slide
the edge guide against it. Do not load too many sheets at once. Load up to 20
sheets of photo paper or 100 sheets of plain paper. Load other special papers one
sheet at a time.
If paper has jammed, follow these steps:
1. Gently pull out jammed paper from the output tray or sheet feeder.
2. If paper is stuck inside, press the P On button to turn off the NX300/305
Series. Then lift the scanner, remove the jammed paper and torn pieces, close
the scanner, and turn the NX300/305 Series back on.
If documents don’t feed correctly in the Automatic Document Feeder, make sure
the corners of the paper are not bent, folded, or curled up. Do not load more than
30 sheets of letter- or 10 sheets of legal-size paper at a time. If documents have
jammed:
1. Open the ADF cover and remove any jammed paper.
Caution:
Do not try to remove the paper without opening the ADF cover first, or you could
damage the mechanism.

Faxing Problems
■
Make sure the recipient’s fax machine is turned on and working.
■
Make sure the LINE port on the NX300/305 Series is connected to a
telephone wall jack. Verify that the telephone wall jack works by connecting a
phone to it.
■
■
■
If the line has static, press Setup, select Fax Settings, select
Communication, and turn off the V.34 and ECM (Error Correction Mode)
settings.
If the NX300/305 Series is connected to a DSL phone line, you must have a
DSL filter connected to the phone jack. Contact your DSL provider for the
necessary filter.
If you answer the phone and hear a fax tone and the call disconnects when you
hang up, make sure the phone is connected to the EXT. port on the NX300/
305 Series (see page 14).
Print Quality Problems
■
■
■
■
For the best print quality, use genuine Epson paper (see page 6) and ink
cartridges (see page 37).
If you notice light or dark bands across your printouts or they are too faint,
run a nozzle check (see page 34) to see if the print head needs cleaning.
If you notice jagged vertical lines, you may need to align the print head. See
the online User’s Guide for instructions.
The ink cartridges may be low on ink. Check your cartridge status (see
page 36) and replace cartridges, if necessary (see page 38).
■
■
If you’re copying, place the document flat against the scanner glass.
Clean the scanner glass with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth (paper towels are not
recommended), or use a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth, if
necessary. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the glass.

For United States Users
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by
the ACTA. On the back side is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC

must, upon request, provide this information to your local telephone company. The
information associated with the services the equipment is to be connected are REN: 0.1B,
Jack type: RJ-11C.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices that you may connect to your
telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is
called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line
should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that you may connect
to your line, you may want to contact your local telephone company to determine the
maximum REN for your calling area. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN
for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:
BKMFA01BC362A. The digits represented by 01 are the REN without a decimal point
(e.g., 01 is a REN of 0.1). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.

of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. The telephone company may make
changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the proper
functioning of your equipment. If they do, you will be notified in advance to give you an
opportunity to maintain uninterrupted telephone service.
