Paper Feed
Adjustment
Controls the paper feeding value, in 0.01% increments. If
the paper feeding value is too large, white horizontal
micro banding may appear. If the paper feeding value is
too small, dark horizontal micro banding may appear.
Paper Suction Adjusts the Paper Suction value. Decreasing the air suction
at the platen is useful to avoid wrinkling or waving of thin or
saturated media, or eliminating vertical banding. You can
select Standard (100% suction), -1 (50% suction), -2 (30%
suction), -3 (10% suction), or -4 (6% suction).
Paper
Thickness
This value is set automatically according to the Media
Type setting. If you use non-Epson media, modify this value
for your media. Refer to the paper specifications, or see
"THICKNESS PAT" on page 126 to print a Thickness Pattern to
determine the paper thickness.
Cut Method Determines the best cutting method according to the
paper thickness. You can select Standard (normal speed
and normal cut pressure), Thin Paper (low cut pressure),
Thick Paper, Fast (high speed and high cut pressure), or
Thick Paper, Slow (low speed and high cut pressure).
Platen Gap The platen gap is the distance from the media loaded in
the printer to the print head. By adjusting this setting, you
can increase the print quality. This is set automatically
according to the Paper Thickness setting specified.
Note:
Setting Platen Gap to Narrow may produce better print
quality, but make sure the media does not wrinkle or touch
the print head; otherwise, the printout or the print head
may be damaged. If this happens, select the Wider or
Wide setting.
