Description
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.
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.
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).
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)
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.
Select the Eject Roller Type that best fits your media.
Auto: The printer selects the most appropriate setting
automatically. When you use Epson special media,
usually select this setting.
Starwheel-Sheet: If you want to print on cut-sheet paper
that is non-Epson media, select this setting.
Starwheel-Roll Curled: If you want to print on strongly
curled roll paper that is non-Epson media, select this
setting.
No Roller-Roll Normal: If you want to print on roll paper
that is non-Epson media, select this setting.

default values.
