Product Update
Your printer includes two accessories designed to prevent head strikes
and paper misalignment when you use the auto take-up reel:
•
Tensioner media guides
•
Paper tape (non-adhesive), which ensures accurate media winding
and saves media
Using the Tensioner Media Guides
After media is loaded in the printer and auto take-up reel, place the
tensioner media guides on the tension bar. They should lightly touch
the edges of the media, without pressure.
Note: when the tensioner media guides are not in use, slide them
to the edges of the tension bar.
Using the Paper Tape
Use the paper tape to attach media to the auto take-up reel core. This
allows the media to "self-center," preventing skew and head strike
issues. You can use the paper tape included with the printer or any
paper tape that resists tearing and stretching.
Note: Epson recommends using a roll core that is wider than the
media you are printing on. This may help keep the edges of the
media on the core as it is rolled up.
After media is loaded in the printer, do the following:
1.
Grasp the center of the media edge and pull it straight down.
•
Pull the media down until the leading edge reaches the upper
•
label on the after heater.
