cabinet.
❏Do not insert objects through the slots. Take care
not to spill liquid on this product.
❏This product’s power cord is for use with this
product only. Use with other equipment may result
in fire or electric shock.
❏Connect all equipment to properly grounded
power outlets. Avoid using outlets on the same
circuit as copiers or air control systems that
regularly switch on and off.
❏Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches
or automatic timers.
❏Keep the entire computer system away from
potential sources of electromagnetic interference,
such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless
telephones.
❏Use only the type of power source indicated on the
product’s label.
❏Use only the power cord that comes with this
product. Use of another cord may result in fire or
electric shock.
❏Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord.
❏If you use an extension cord with this product,
make sure the total ampere rating of the devices
plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the
cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the total
ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall
outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere
rating.
❏Do not attempt to service this product yourself.
❏Unplug this product and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has
entered the product; the product has been dropped
or the cabinet damaged; the product does not
operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in
performance.
❏If you plan to use the printer in Germany, observe
the following:
To provide adequate short-circuit protection and
over-current protection for this printer, the
building installation must be protected by a 10 or 16
amp circuit breaker.
❏If damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or
consult a qualified electrician. If there are fuses in
the plug, make sure you replace them with fuses of
the correct size and rating.
❏When connecting the printer to a computer or
other device with a cable, ensure the correct
orientation of the connectors. Each connector has
only one correct orientation. Inserting a connector
in the wrong orientation may damage both devices
connected by the cable.
SC-P600 Series User’s Guide
Introduction

When using this product
❏Do not put your hand inside this product or touch
the ink cartridges during printing.
❏Do not move the print heads by hand; otherwise
you may damage this product.
❏Always turn the product off using the Power button
on the control panel. When this button is pressed,
the Power light flashes briefly then goes off. Do not
unplug the power cord or turn off the product until
the Power light stops flashing.
Using the printer with a wireless
connection
❏Do not use this product inside medical facilities or
near medical equipment. Radio waves from this
product may adversely affect the operation of
electrical medical equipment.
❏Keep this product at least 22 cm away from cardiac
pacemakers. Radio waves from this product may
adversely affect the operation of cardiac
pacemakers.
❏Do not use this product near automatically
controlled devices such as automatic doors or fire
alarms. Radio waves from this product may
adversely affect these devices, and could lead to
accidents due to malfunction.
When handling the ink
cartridges
❏Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and
do not drink.
❏If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and
water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately
with water. If discomfort or vision problems remain
after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.
❏Shake new ink cartridges four or five times before
opening their packages.
❏Do not shake ink cartridges after opening their
packages; this can cause leakage.
❏Use the ink cartridge before the date printed on its
package.
❏Use up the ink cartridge within six months of
opening the package for best results.
❏Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill
them. This could damage the print head.
❏Do not touch the IC chip on the side of the cartridge.
This may affect normal operation and printing.
❏The IC chip on this ink cartridge retains a variety of
cartridge-related information, such as the ink
cartridge status, so that the cartridge may be
removed and reinserted freely. However, each time
the cartridge is inserted, some ink is consumed
because the printer automatically performs a
reliability check.
❏If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect
the ink supply area from dirt and dust, and store it in
the same environment as this product. Note that
there is a valve in the ink supply port, making covers
or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent
the ink from staining items that the cartridge
touches. Do not touch the ink supply port or
surrounding area.
❏Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; this
can cause leakage.
❏Install the ink cartridge immediately after you
remove it from its package. If you leave a cartridge
unpacked for a long time before using it, normal
printing may not be possible.
❏Store ink cartridges with their labels facing upward.
Do not store cartridges upside down.
Using the LCD screen (Touch
panel)
❏The LCD screen may contain a few small bright or
dark spots, and because of its features it may have an
uneven brightness. These are normal and do not
indicate that it is damaged in any way.
❏Only use a dry, soft cloth to clean the LCD screen.
Do not use liquid or chemical cleansers.

Printer Features
This ink jet color printer supports A3+ paper.
The main features of this printer are described below.
Realizing High Resolution
The newly developed Epson UltraChrome HD ink
technology provides high definition for professional
needs.
Maximum black density
The new ink technology realizes maximum black
density (Dmax) which is higher than previous products.
Printing Black and White Photos
Three different densities of black ink bring out delicate
tone differences in black-and-white photographs.
The printer driver can be used to create richly shaded
black-and-white prints directly from color image data
without the use of imaging software.
U “Printing Black and White Photos” on page 55
Providing two types of black ink to match the paper
type
You can choose from Photo Black or Matte Black ink
depending on the paper type. Photo Black ink provides a
smooth finish to glossy photo papers. Matte Black ink
increases black optical density for matte type papers.
This printer allows you to set both photo black ink and
matte black ink and switch between them depending on
the paper type.
U “Changing the Type of Black Ink” on page 35
Balanced Color Reproduction Using the Epson LUT
Technology
Epson LUT Technology realizes the following
conditions while ensuring an excellent balance among
all these parameters. This makes possible an overall
increase in image quality and consistent color
reproduction.
1. Reduces color inconsistencies due to differences in
lighting
2. Reproduces fine gradations
3. Reduces graininess
SC-P600 Series User’s Guide
Introduction
14
4. Increases the gamut for rich color reproduction
5760 × 1440 dpi Maximum Resolution, 2 pl Minimum
Ink Dot Size for a precise output
Print beautiful photographs with little graininess.
Long life prints
Pigment inks maintain more beautiful and more vibrant
prints over a long period of time since their high water
and ozone resistance and high light fastness prevent the
inks from being broken down by light and ozone in the
air.
Realizing High Productivity
Excellent color stability leads to efficient printing
The color stabilizes in a short time so it can safely be used
for pre-press workflow and color editing, increasing
work efficiency.
Superior Ease of Use
Adopted a touch panel interface that offers
improved operability with an easy-to-see-and-use
color screen
The large, bright LCD display provides an intuitive, easy
to operate screen design.
The highly legible color screen makes error messages
and other information easier to understand. It also
provides instructions on loading media such as fine art
media.
U “Home Screen View” on page 12
Equipped for Wireless LANs
The wireless LAN feature that comes standard with the
printer allows wireless printing from computers and
compatible Wi-Fi devices.
By using a Wi-FI Direct connection, you can wirelessly
connect the printer directly to a computer or a smart
device without using an access point.
Note:
You may find print speeds to be insufficient on some
wireless networks or when printing at A3 or other
extremely large sizes. A physical connection is
recommended when consistent print speeds are required.
Printing from a smart device
By using AirPrint or Google cloud print, you can print
from iOS or Android smart devices.
Borderless printing function
You can print with no margins for all directions with
both auto expand or retain size print settings.U
“Borderless printing” on page 58
Also included is a poster printing function that allows
you to join the output paper together when performing
borderless printing in order to create large posters and
calendars.U “Poster Printing (Enlarge to cover several
sheets and print - Windows only)” on page 69
Freely placing print data made by various
applications using Layout Manager
This function allows you to place multiple print data
made by different applications freely on one sheet to
create posters and display articles.
U “Layout Manager(Windows only)” on page 77
Saving energy using Sleep Mode and Power Off
Timer
When no print jobs are being handled, or when no
operation has been performed for some time, the printer
enters sleep mode to reduce power consumption.
Furthermore, if the Power Off Timer function is
enabled, the printer can automatically switch off to
avoid wasting electricity. This function works if no print
jobs are received and no operations are carried out on
the control panel while the printer is not in an error
status for a specified duration of time.
U “Energy Saving Settings” on page 37
Support for a Wide Variety of Paper Types
EPSON offers a wide variety of special media for
high-quality printing. The printer can also print on
poster board, roll paper, and inkjet-compatible CDs and
DVDs.
Loading paper automatically displays the setup screen
for media type and media size. You can set this display to

decline.
❏When using the printer, observe the operating
temperature and humidity range described in the
“Specifications Table”.
Even when the conditions above are met, you may
not be able to print properly if the environmental
conditions are not suitable for the paper. Be sure to
use the printer in an environment where the paper's
requirements are met. For more details, see the
manual supplied with the paper.
Also, when operating in dry areas, air conditioned
environment, or under direct sunlight, maintain
the appropriate humidity.
❏Avoid locations in direct contact with air from air
conditioners and locations with heat sources. This
could dry the nozzles in the print head and cause
clogging.
❏Capping may not occur (the print head is not
positioned on the right-hand side) if the printer is
turned off during a paper jam or when an error
occurs. Capping is a function for automatically
covering the print head with a cap (lid) to prevent
the print head from drying out. In this case, turn on
the power and wait a while until capping is
performed automatically.
❏When the power is on, do not remove the power
plug or cut the power at the breaker. The print head
may not be capped properly. In this case, turn on the
power and wait a while until capping is performed
automatically.
Notes when not using the printer
If you are not using it, note the following points when
storing the printer. If it is not stored correctly, you may
not be able to print properly the next time it is used.
❏When storing the printer leave the ink cartridges
installed and keep the printer level. Do not tilt or
invert the printer or stand it on end.
❏If you do not print for a long time, the print head
nozzles may become clogged. We recommend that
you use the printer periodically to prevent the print
head from clogging.
❏If the paper is left in the printer, the roller of the
paper presser may leave a mark on the surface of the
paper. This can also cause wavy or curled paper
resulting in paper feeding problems or the print
head could be scratched. Remove any paper when
storing.
SC-P600 Series User’s Guide

❏Store the printer after confirming that the print
head has been capped (the print head is positioned
at the far right). If the print head is left uncapped for
a long time, the print quality may decline.
Note:
If the print head is not capped, turn the printer on, and
then turn it off.
❏Make sure covers are kept closed to avoid dust
getting in. If you are not using the printer for a long
time, put an anti-static cloth or cover on the printer
to prevent dust. The print head nozzles are very
small, and they can become clogged easily if fine
dust gets on the print head, and you may not be able
to print properly.
❏If you have not used the printer for a long time,
check the print head for clogging before you start
printing. Perform head cleaning if the print head is
clogged.
U “Checking for clogged nozzles” on page 94
Notes on handling ink cartridges
Note the following points when handling ink cartridges
to maintain good print quality.
❏As part of the initial ink charging process
performed after purchase, some ink is used to fill
the print head nozzles to the tips and ready them for
printing. As a result, the first ink cartridges installed
after purchase will print fewer pages than
subsequent cartridges.
❏We recommend storing ink cartridges in a cool,
dark place, and using them before the expiry date on
the package. Use cartridges within six months of
opening.
❏Do not open the bag containing the ink cartridge
until you are ready to install it in the printer. Ink
cartridges are vacuum packed to maintain quality.
❏If you move ink cartridges from a cold place to a
warm place, leave it at room temperature for more
than three hours before using the ink cartridge.
❏Make sure you remove the yellow tape before
installing. If you install without removing the tape,
you may not be able to print properly. Do not
remove any other film or labels. Otherwise, ink
could leak.
❏Do not touch the IC chip in the ink cartridge. You
may not be able to print properly.
U “Replacing Ink Cartridges” on page 97
❏When loading ink cartridges, be sure all colors are
installed. The printer can only be used when all
colors are installed.
❏Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, the
printer may be damaged.
❏Do not leave the printer without ink cartridges
installed. If the print head (nozzles) dries, you may
not be able to print.
❏Because the green IC chip contains the cartridge’s
own information such as the remaining ink level,
you can still reinstall and use the ink cartridge after
removing it from the printer. Note, however, that
you may not be able to reuse ink cartridges that
contained very little ink when they were removed
from the printer. Some ink may also be used to
ensure reliable operation when the cartridges are
reinserted.
❏Cartridges that still contain ink should be stored
under the same conditions as the printer, with the
nozzles down or to the side to prevent them
becoming clogged with dust. Note that the ink
supply port has a valve in it so it does not need to be
capped.
❏Removed ink cartridges may have ink around the
ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on
the surrounding area.
❏To maintain the quality of the print head, this
printer stops printing before ink cartridges are
completely expended.
❏Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled
materials, this does not effect printer function or
performance.
❏Do not dismantle or remodel ink cartridges. You
may not be able to print properly.
SC-P600 Series User’s Guide
Introduction

❏All colors of ink are used during head cleaning and
other non-printing maintenance operations to
ensure that the print heads remain in good
condition.
❏Depending on the paper type and print quality
settings, colored inks may also be used for
high-density blacks in monochrome or grayscale
printing.
❏You cannot use the cartridges that came with the
printer for replacement.
Notes on handling paper
Note the following points when handling and storing
the paper. If the paper is not in good condition, print
quality may decline.
Check the manuals supplied with each paper.
Notes on Handling
❏Use Epson special media under normal room
conditions (temperature: 15 to 25°C; humidity: 40
to 60%).
❏Do not fold the paper or scratch the surface of the
paper.
❏Avoid touching the printable surface of the paper
with your bare hands. Moisture and oils from your
hands can affect print quality.
❏Paper may be wavy or slack if the temperature and
humidity change. Be careful not to scratch or soil
the paper, and flatten it before loading it in the
printer.
❏Do not wet the paper.
❏Do not throw away the paper packaging as you can
use it for storing the paper.
❏Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight,
excessive heat, or humidity.
❏Keep paper in their original package after opening,
and keep them in a flat place.
Notes on handling printed paper
To maintain long lasting, high quality print results, note
the following points.
❏Do not rub or scratch the printed surface. If they are
rubbed or scratched, the ink may peel off.
❏Do not touch the printed surface; otherwise, the ink
may peel off.
❏Make sure the print outs are completely dry before
folding of stacking; otherwise, the color may change
where they touch (leaves a mark). These marks will
disappear if they are separated immediately and
dried; however, they will remain if not separated.
❏If you put the print outs in an album before they are
completely dry, they may be blurred.
❏Do not use a dryer to dry the print outs.
❏Avoid direct sunlight.
❏Prevent color distortion while displaying or storing
the print outs by following the instructions in the
paper’s manual.
❏To keep your printouts from discoloring, store
them in a dark place, away from high temperatures,
high humidity, and direct sunlight.
Note:
Typically, print outs and photos fade over time (color
distortion) due to the effects of light and various
constituents in the air. This also applies to Epson special
media. However, with the correct storage method, the
degree of color distortion can be minimized.
❏See the manuals supplied with Epson special media
for detailed information on handling the paper after
printing.
❏The colors of photos, posters, and other printed
materials appear different under different lighting
conditions (light sources
*
). The colors of print outs
from this printer may also appear different under
different light sources.
* Light sources include sunlight, fluorescent light,
incandescent light, and other types.

Auto Expand
The printer driver enlarges the print data to a size
slightly larger than the paper size and prints the enlarged
image. The sections which are beyond the paper edges
are not printed; therefore, resulting in borderless
printing.
Use settings such as Page Layout in the applications to
set the size of the image data as follows.
- Match the paper size and page setting for the print
data.
- If the application has margin settings, set the
margins to 0 mm.
SC-P600 Series User’s Guide
Printing Varieties
58
- Make the image data as large as the paper size.
Retain Size
Create the print data larger than the paper size in the
applications to produce borderless output. The printer
driver does not enlarge the image data. Use settings such
as Page Layout in the applications to set the size of the
image data as follows.
- Print data is created so that 5 mm (a total of 10 mm)
extends in all directions beyond the actual paper
size.
- If the application has margin settings, set the
margins to 0 mm.
- Make the image data as large as the paper size.
- There is no need to increase the top and bottom sizes

Poster Printing (Enlarge
to cover several sheets
and print - Windows only)
The poster printing function automatically enlarges and
divides the print data. You can join the printed sheets to
create a large poster or calendar. Poster printing is
available up to 16-fold (four sheets by four sheets) of
normal printing size. There are two ways to print
posters.
❏Borderless poster printing
This automatically enlarges and divides the print
data and prints without margins. You can make a
poster just by joining the output paper together. To
perform borderless printing, the data is expanded
so that it extends slightly over the paper size.
Enlarged areas that exceed the paper are not
printed. Therefore, the image may misalign at the
joins. To join the pages precisely, perform the
following poster printing with margins.
❏Poster printing with margins
This automatically enlarges and divides the print
data and prints with margins. You need to cut the
margins and then join the output paper together to
make a poster. Although the final size is slightly
smaller since you have to cut off the margins, the
image joins fit precisely.

Color Management
Printing
About Color Management
Even when using the same image data, the original
image and the displayed image may look different, and
the printed results may look different to the image you
see on the display. This occurs due to the difference in
characteristics when input devices such as scanners and
digital cameras capture colors as electronic data, and
when output devices such as display screens and
printers reproduce colors from the color data. The color
management system is a means to adjust differences in
color conversion characteristics among input and
output devices. As well as applications for image
processing, each operating system is equipped with a
color management system, such as ICM for Windows
and ColorSync for Mac OS X.
In a color management system, a color definition file
called a "Profile" is used to perform color matching
between devices. (This file is also called an ICC profile.)
The profile of an input device is called an input profile
(or source profile), and of an output device, such as a
printer, is called a printer profile (or output profile). A
profile is prepared for each media type in this printer's
driver.
The color conversion areas by the input device and the
color reproduction area by the output device differ. As a
result, there are color areas that do not match even when
performing color matching using a profile. In addition
to specifying profiles, the color management system
also specifies conversion conditions for areas where
color matching failed as "intent". The name and type of
intent vary depending on the color management system
you are using.
You cannot match the colors on the printed results and
display by color management between the input device
and the printer. To match both colors, you need to
perform color management between the input device
and the display as well.
Color Management Print
Settings
You can perform color management printing using this
printer's printer driver in the following two ways.
Choose the best method according to the application
you are using, the operating system environment, the
aim of the print out and so on.
Setting color management with the applications
This method is for printing from applications that
support color management. All color management
processes are carried out by the application's color
management system. This method is useful when you
want to obtain the same color management print results
using a common application among different operating
system environments.
U “Setting color management with the applications”
on page 83
Setting color management with the printer driver
The printer driver uses the operating system's color
management system and carries out all color
management processes. You can make color
management settings in the printer driver using the
following two methods.
❏Host ICM (Windows)/ColorSync (Mac OS X)
Set when printing from applications that support
color management. This is effective in producing
similar print results from different applications
under the same operating systems.
U “Color management printing by Host ICM
(Windows)” on page 84
U “Color management printing by ColorSync

Adjusting the Print Head
You need to adjust the print head if white lines appear in
your print outs or if you notice the print quality has
declined. You can perform the following printer
maintenance functions for maintaining the print head
in good condition to ensure the best print quality.
Carry out appropriate maintenance depending on the
print results and situation.
Checking for clogged nozzles
Check whether the print head nozzles are clogged. If the
nozzles are clogged, print results may include banding
or unusual colors. Perform print head cleaning if the
nozzles are clogged.

Notes on head cleaning
Note the following points when performing head
cleaning.
❏Clean the print head only if print quality declines;
for example, if the printout is blurry or the color is
incorrect or missing.
❏Head cleaning uses ink from all ink cartridges. Even
if you are using only black inks for black and white
printing, color inks are also consumed.
❏If the nozzles are still clogged after you have
performed around four cycles of nozzle checks and
head cleaning, turn the printer off, wait for at least
six hours, and perform a nozzle check and head
cleaning again. Leaving the cartridges undisturbed
for a period of time may allow the ink that is causing
the clog to dissolve.
If the nozzles are still clogged, contact your dealer or
Epson Support.

Important:
Epson recommends the use of genuine Epson ink
cartridges. Epson cannot guarantee the quality or
reliability of non-genuine ink. The use of
non-genuine ink may cause damage that is not
covered by Epson’s warranties, and under certain
circumstances may cause erratic printer behavior.
Information about non-genuine ink levels may not
be displayed, and use of non-genuine ink is recorded
for possible use in service support.
How to replace
If one of the installed ink cartridges is expended,
printing cannot be performed. If an ink low warning is
displayed, we recommend replacing the ink cartridge(s)
as soon as possible.
If an ink cartridge runs out while printing, you can
continue printing after replacing the ink cartridge.
However, when replacing ink during a print job, you
may see a difference in color depending on the drying
conditions.

o
Are you using a genuine Epson ink cartridge?
This printer is developed for use with Epson ink
cartridges. If you use non-Epson ink cartridges, the
prints may smear, or the color of the printed image
may be changed because the remaining ink level is
not correctly detected. Be sure to use the correct ink
cartridge.
o
Are you using an old ink cartridge?
The print quality declines when an old ink cartridge is
used. Replace the old ink cartridge with a new one. We
recommend using the ink cartridge before the expiry
date printed on the packaging (within six months of
opening the package).
o
Are the Media Type settings correct?
Print quality will be affected if the paper currently
loaded in the printer does not match the Media Type
selected in the printer driver Main tab (Windows) or
Print screen (Mac OS X). Be sure to match the media
type setting with the paper that is loaded in the
printer.
o
Did you select a low quality mode (such as
Speed) as the Print Quality?
The print quality may decline when you select Speed
for Print Quality or make Quality Options settings
that assign priority to speed from the printer driver. If
you want to improve your print quality, select a
setting that assigns priority to quality.
o
Was color management performed?
Perform color management.
U “Color Management Printing” on page 82
o
Have you compared the printing result with
the image on the display monitor?
Since monitors and printers produce colors
differently, printed colors will not always match
on-screen colors perfectly.
o
Are you printing with PhotoEnhance (auto
print quality adjustment)?
PhotoEnhance optimally enhances data that lacks
appropriate contrast or saturation for clear results
when printing. As a result, colors in images printed
with PhotoEnhance may differ from those displayed
on screen.
U “Auto Correct Color and Print Photos
(PhotoEnhance)” on page 50
o
Did you print a photograph or other color
image on plain paper?
The type of paper used for color printing has a large
effect on the quality of the results. Choose a paper
(including special medias and plain paper) according
to your intended purpose.
o
Did you print on the wrong side of the paper?
Special medias have a back (non-printable) side. Place
the front (printable) side on top.
The color is not exactly the same as
another printer.
o
Colors vary depending on the printer type
due to each printer's characteristics.
Because inks, printer drivers, and printer profiles are
developed for each printer model, the colors printed
by different printer models are not exactly the same.
You can achieve similar colors with the same color
adjustment method or the same gamma setting by
using the printer driver.

size of the loaded paper do not match, the print may
not be where you want it, or part of it may be cut off. In
this case, check the print settings.
o
Is fine art media or poster board skewed?

see the manual supplied with the paper, or contact
the dealer of the paper or the manufacturer of the RIP.
o
Is the paper creased or folded?
Do not use old paper or paper with folds in it. Always
use new paper.
o
Is the paper wavy or slack?
Cut sheets become wavy or slack due to changes in
temperature or humidity which may result in the
printer being unable to recognize the paper size
correctly. Flatten the paper before loading it in the
printer, or use new paper.
o
Is the Inside of the printer dirty?
There may be dirt on the rollers. Pass (feed and eject)
paper through the printer to clean the rollers.
U “Cleaning Inside the Printer” on page 99
The paper is creased.
o
Are you using the printer at normal room
temperature?

temperature (temperature: 15 to 25°C, humidity: 40 to
60 %). For information about paper such as thin paper
from other manufacturers that requires special
handling, see the manual supplied with the paper.
o
When using non-Epson special media, have
you made the Paper Configuration?
Before printing on paper other than Epson
special-purpose media, adjust settings in the printer
driver Paper Configuration tab to match the paper.
See the printer driver help for more details on the
Paper Configuration screen.

If the paper is loaded correctly, check the condition of
the paper that you are using.
o
Is the paper loaded in the correct direction?
Load cut sheets vertically. If the paper is not loaded in
the correct orientation, the printer will not recognize
the paper or feed it correctly, resulting in errors.
U “Loading Cut Sheets” on page 22
o
Is the paper creased or folded?
Do not use old paper or paper with folds in it. Always
use new paper.
o
Is the paper damp?
Do not use paper that is damp. Also, Epson special
media should be left in the bag until you intend to use
it. If it is left out for a long time, the paper curls up and
gets damp so that it does not feed properly.
o
Is the paper wavy or slack?
Cut sheets become wavy or slack due to changes in
temperature or humidity which may result in the
printer being unable to recognize the paper size
correctly. Flatten the paper before loading it in the
printer, or use new paper.
o
Is the paper too thick or too thin?
Check that the paper specifications are compatible
with this printer. For information about the media
types and appropriate settings for printing on paper
from other manufacturers or when using RIP software,
see the manual supplied with the paper, or contact
the dealer of the paper or the manufacturer of the RIP.
o
Are you using the printer at normal room
temperature?
Epson special media should be used at normal room
temperature (temperature: 15 to 25°C, humidity: 40 to
60 %).
o
Is paper jammed in the printer?
Open the printer cover of the printer and check that
there are no paper jams or foreign objects in the
printer. If paper is jammed, see below and clear the
jammed paper.
o
The rollers inside the printer may be dirty.
If a cleaning sheet is provided with the paper, pass
(feed and eject) it through the printer to clean the
rollers.

Did you leave the front manual feed tray
open when loading roll paper?
Close the front manual feed tray, and load roll paper.
o
Fine art media may have been fed on an
angle.

the paper is aligned with the line on the front manual
feed tray.
