Notes On Handling Paper - Epson SC-T3100X Series User Manual

SC-T3100x Series User's Guide
❏ To keep the printer in optimum operating
condition, we recommend that you do not leave
the printer with only a small amount of ink
remaining in the ink tanks.
❏ Although the ink bottles may contain recycled
materials, this does not affect printer function or
performance.
❏ The appearance and specifications of the ink
bottles are subject to change without notice.
Ink consumption
❏ As well as when printing, the printer also uses ink
from all cartridges during head cleaning and
other maintenance operations to keep the print
head in good condition.
❏ A mixture of color inks may be used to print
black depending on the paper type and print
quality settings even for black and white and
grayscale printing.
❏ Initial ink charging after purchasing the printer
consumes enough ink to fill up to the tips of the
print head nozzles (the holes from which the ink
is fired) allowing you to print right away.
Therefore, the number of printed sheets may be
lower than the ink bottles used from the second
and subsequent refills.

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 documentation 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.
Introduction
❏ Handle paper by the edges. We recommend
wearing cotton gloves.
❏ Changes in temperature and humidity may cause
paper to become wavy or curled. Check the
following points.
❏ Load the paper just before printing.
❏ Do not use wavy or curled paper.
For roll paper, cut off the wavy or curled
parts and then load it again.
For cut sheets, use new paper.
❏ 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 cut sheets in their original package after
opening, and keep them in a flat place.
❏ Remove roll paper that is not in use from the
printer. Rewind it correctly and then store it in
the original packaging that came with the roll
paper. If you leave the roll paper in the printer for
a long time, its quality may decline.
Notes on handling printed paper
To maintain long lasting, high quality print results,
note the following points.
❏ Do not rub or scratch print outs. If they are
rubbed or scratched, the ink may peel off.
❏ Do not touch the surface of print outs. 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.
