Which way up do you place glossy photo paper into the feeder when you are about to copy a photo? Instructions are not terribly clear. I have anEpson RX520 scanner/printer. I would be very grateful if someone could give me advice! Sally

I think most printers print on the face of the paper that is upwards. One way of checking is to print something on ordinary paper, make a mark on the side that is face up and see if that is the side printed on. Ann Glos

Yes, it is glossy side up. Also remember not to touch what's been printed as takes a while to dry properly. Ron

You could try putting a cross on a piece of paper in your printer, setting something simple like a word or sentence to print and see if it comes out where the cross is or underneath it if you really want to make sure before you waste a piece of expensive photo paper. Lyn x x

....... and if I had read all the responses properly first I would have noticed that Ann gave exactly that advice at the very start! Doh me!
