EPSON — Paper Type

Appendix Paper Type • If you use paper that does not satisfy the required specifications, it may cause paper jams or lead to a drop of paper feed accuracy, barcode readability, and print quality. • If the end edge of roll paper is pasted or taped to the core, the printer will fail to detect the end of the paper resulting in wasting multiple labels on the roll paper. • If you are using synthetic labels with backing sheet made of paper, or labels with polyethylene laminated backing sheet, paper curl may occur depending on storage and usage environmental conditions.

Because the degree of expansion and contraction due to heat and moisture varies between the plastic materials, such as the synthetic and polyethylene, and the paper materials. If you use the curled paper, the paper may be rubbed against the print head causing ink smear on printouts or paper jams. • Do not use paper sheets connected to each other with pieces of tape or other material. If you use the connected paper, the seams may cause false detection, or the paper may be rubbed against the print head causing ink smear on printouts or paper jams. • When using matte black ink, if you touch paper surface immediately after printing, ink may adhere to your fingers.

• If labels less than 25.4 mm {1.00 in.} in length are automatically cut, they may stay near the fixed blade and be difficult to remove. • The printer may not be able to detect the paper correctly depending on the paper material and the condition of the black marks. Please verify the paper well before using it. • Backfeeding paper less than 50.8 mm {2 in.} wide may degrade print quality. • Print quality may be degraded when the [Media Source] is set to [Rear Feed] and the rewinder is used.
