3. Cut Pressure:
The default is *100%. The Cut Pressure configuration setting is useful to insure good cuts with supported media
and to allow cutting of thinner media without snagging or tearing it.
value less then 100%. A dull or damaged cutter blade will cause improper cutting as well as cutting media that is
not supported for the built in automatic cutter.
Media that is NOT supported by the built in automatic cutter includes:
Smooth Fine Art - Textured Fine Art - Canvas - Enhanced Matte Posterboard - Somerset Velvet Fine Art Paper -
Adhesive Vinyl - Backlight Film - Heavy Weight Polyester Banner - DuPont Semi Gloss Proofing and third party
medias that are similar to those mentioned or paper media greater then 10mil thickness. Damage to the cutter
blade will occur by using the built in Auto Cutter to cut these medias. Epson has a manual cutter option that can
cut these medias.
4. Cut Method:
The Default is *3 Step. The Cut Method is useful for cutting thinner media to prevent snagging or tearing of the
media during cutting. For thinner media try the Custom Configuration of 4 Step.
5. Paper Feed Adjustment:
The default is *0.00%. The Paper Feed Adjustment is very useful in removing Horizontal Banding using the
standard Epson driver or a 3Rd party RIP. The horizontal banding will appear as thin light or dark lines that repeat
at the same distance. Make sure a nozzle check is performed prior to making this adjustment as missing or
deflected nozzles can also produce prints with horizontal banding. The banding this adjustment corrects is caused
by the media not being feed far enough (Dark Thin Lines) or the media is being feed to far (Light Thin Lines). The
distance between the horizontal banding depends on the print resolution for example the approximate distance
between the lines for various resolutions are:
360dpi = 5mm, 720dpi = 3mm, 1440dpi = 1.8mm. To remove Dark Thin Lines the paper needs to feed further, try
a value in the + direction. To remove Light Thin Lines the paper needs to feed less, try a value in the - direction.
