Using Roll Paper
You can use roll paper with a 2- or 3-inch core, up to 64 inches wide.
Manually switching rolls is a simple process. Check the Epson Pro Imaging
website (www.proimaging.epson.com) or your Epson Professional Imaging
authorized reseller for available media.
Roll Paper Guidelines
When printing on roll paper, be sure to follow the media handling
guidelines on page 48, as well as these special guidelines for roll paper:
• When storing roll paper, keep it in its original packaging—including the
bag, end caps, and box.
• To avoid feeding excess paper, make sure the Sheet icon does not
appear on the LCD display. Press the l Paper Source button until the
or roll icon appears.
• Choose if you want the paper to be cut automatically after each
page is printed.
• Do not leave roll paper loaded in the printer when it is not in use.
• Choose if you want to print a series of pages and use the auto
take-up reel.
• Choose if you’re printing on canvas or other heavy media. Media
that is too thick may damage the cutter. Use a matte knife or cutter
instead.
The following media (and other similar materials) may not work with
the built-in cutter:
• Fine art paper (including Epson Textured and UltraSmooth
®
Fine
Art Paper)
• Canvas
• Vinyl
• Matte board
• Heavyweight polyester banner media
• If you’re loading heavy paper, you may need to increase the paper
suction by pressing the u Paper Feed button.
