This menu contains the following items.
PAPER THKNS
You can adjust the thickness of the paper to use. If you use Epson
special media and its paper thickness is 0.2 mm or 1.2 mm, select
STD. If you use non-Epson special media, enter the paper thickness
in the range of 0.1 to 1.6 mm.
ALIGNMENT
You can correct any head misalignment to obtain optimum
printing results. For details, see “Aligning the print head” on page
248.
CUTTER REPLACE
You can see the procedure used to replace the paper cutter. Follow
the instructions on the LCD.
Checking the print head nozzles
To find out if nozzles are delivering ink properly, you can print a
nozzle check pattern. If the nozzles are not delivering ink
properly, missing dots will be evident in the print pattern. To
print a nozzle check pattern, follow the steps below.
Note:
❏ If you want to perform an auto nozzle check before printing for each
print job, select ON for AUTO CLEANING and then select ON for
AUTO NZL CK.
❏ Before you start printing your data, make sure that nozzle check
pattern printing is complete; otherwise, the print quality may
decline.
