Basic Operations

Loading and Removing
the Roll Paper
We recommend setting Remaining Paper Setup before
loading roll paper into the printer. See the following for
more information on making settings.
Also, when loading the Epson special media
UltraSmooth Fine Art Paper, you need turn the Auto
Roll Feeding setting to Off in advance. To turn the
setting to Off, see U "Setting Auto Roll Paper Feeding"
on page 27
Printing and Reading Roll Paper
Information
The printer can automatically print the following roll
paper related settings in a barcode on the leading edge of
the roll paper before the roll paper is removed.
❏ Roll Paper Remaining
❏ Roll Length Alert
❏ Paper Type
This is useful when multiple rolls are used because the
barcode is read automatically and the paper settings are
updated as roll paper is replaced.
To print roll paper information in a barcode and to read
the printed information, set Remaining Paper Setup to
On and configure the Roll Paper Length and the Roll
Length Alert from the Menu.
The factory setting for Remaining Paper Setup is Off.
You can change the setting using the following
procedures.
