OAlways turn the product off using the Power
button on the control panel. When this button is
pressed, the Power light flashes briefly then goes
off. Do not unplug the power cord or turn off the
product until the Power light stops flashing.
When handling the ink
cartridges
OKeep ink cartridges out of the reach of children
and do not drink.
OIf ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and
water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them
immediately with water.
OBefore installing the new ink cartridge in the
printer, shake it back and forth horizontally in five
centimeter movements about 15 times within five
seconds.
OUse the ink cartridge before the date printed on its
package.
OUse up the ink cartridge within a year of
installation for best results.
ODo not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill
them. This could damage the print head.
ODo not touch the IC chip on the side of the
cartridge. This may affect normal operation and
printing.
OThe IC chip on this ink cartridge retains a variety
of cartridge-related information, such as the ink
cartridge status, so that the cartridge may be
removed and reinserted freely. However, each time
the cartridge is inserted, some ink is consumed
because the printer automatically performs a
reliability check.
OIf you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect
the ink supply area from dirt and dust, and store it
in the same environment as this product. Note that
there is a valve in the ink supply port, making
covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to
prevent the ink from staining items that the
cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink supply
port or surrounding area.

Features
The main features of this printer are described below.
High Productivity
High-speed printing
The speeds of the print head and paper feed have been
increased for faster printing.
The printer is equipped with a high-speed rotary cutter
for quick cutting, significantly increasing productivity.
Paper basket holds consecutive sheets
(T7270/T5270/T3270)
The paper basket accommodates up to 20 sheets of
A2/A1/A0/ARCH D/US D/US E plain paper,
promoting automation for improved productivity.
U“Using the Paper Basket (T7270/T5270/T3270)” on
page 45
Large-capacity paper basket which can continually
accommodate various mixed paper sizes
(T7270D/T5270D)
This basket can hold various mixed paper sizes from
A1 Landscape size and smaller.
In addition, if you set the basket to the compact
position, you can reduce the protrusion of the paper
basket so it can be used even in narrow spaces.
U“Using the Large-Capacity Paper Basket
(T7270D/T5270D)” on page 49
Improved operability with an easy to see and use
color screen
Designed for intuitive operation, the large, brightly-lit,
color LCD display is easy to understand and easy to
use.
The large display offers detailed, easy-to-understand
error messages and illustrated guides to loading paper.
U“Screen View” on page 15
Checking current operating status from a distance
with an alert lamp
Errors are immediately obvious even at a distance,
thanks to the large, highly visible alert lamp. This helps
prevent any wasted time when printing has stopped
due to running out of ink or paper.
Loading two roll papers and increasing productivity
(T7270D/T5270D)
You can load roll paper at two locations, Roll 1 (upper
section) and Roll 2 (lower section). This feature
increases productivity in the following manner.
OBecause you can load different types of roll paper
in Roll 1 and Roll 2, specify the media type on the
printer driver during printing, and switch printing
between Roll 1 and Roll 2, you do not need to reset
the paper every time you change the media type.
U“Switching to Roll 1/Roll 2 by Paper Type” on
page 87
OIf you load different sizes of roll paper in Roll 1 and
Roll 2 in advance, the printer switches to the roll
paper with the smaller margin during printing
automatically in accordance with the document
size of the print job. This feature makes it easy to
conserve paper.
U“Switching to Roll 1/Roll 2 by Document Size”
on page 89
OWhen you load the same types and sizes of roll
paper in Roll 1 and Roll 2 in advance, and the
printer determines that the roll paper remaining is
shorter than the print length, it switches to the roll
paper that is longer than the print length
automatically and continues printing. This feature
allows continuous unattended operation.
U“Switching to Roll 1/Roll 2 by Roll Length” on

High Resolution
Thanks to newly developed Epson UltraChrome XD
Ink technology, the printer can be used for high-quality
posters and CAD drawings.
CAD drawings: clear, legible, and with unsurpassed
water resistance
Newly-developed, high-density Matte Black ink
enables the printer to produce extremely detailed
drawings.
Pigmented inks are used for all colors for unsurpassed
water resistance, allowing print results to be safely
carried out-of-doors.*1
Epson SureColor T-Series User Guide

The printer driver offers a line drawing mode, making
it easier to optimize printing for line drawing and,
through unsurpassed reproduction of line drawing and
fine lines in the form of connected lines, diagonals, and
curves, ensuring the best possible results when the
printer is used for drawings.
Vivid, highly lightfast posters and displays*2
Our new magenta ink improves the reds so important
to posters, making them even more noticeable.
The printer driver offers a poster mode that simplifies
the printing of vivid posters. Posters with vivid hues
can be printed simply by selecting poster mode.
Thanks to the pigmented inks used for all colors, the
results are highly water-resistant and can be used for
short-term outdoor display. They are also extremely
lightfast and fade-resistant and can be safely displayed
in direct sunlight.
Easy to Use
Spindle-free roll paper adapter makes loading roll
paper a snap
The lack of a spindle makes it possible to load and
remove roll paper even in environments where space is
at a premium.
To load roll paper, simply place it on the roll rest and
attach roll paper adapters to both ends. The roll rest is
low, making it easy even for short workers to load
paper.
U“Attaching the Roll Paper Adapter” on page 27
Ease of Maintenance
Roll paper and all replacements, including ink
cartridges, Ink Maintenance Tanks, and cutters, are
installed from the front, allowing the printer to be
placed against a wall. The printer does not have to be
moved to allow rear access.
Choose from three sizes of cartridge according to
the task
Choose from 110, 350, and 700 ml cartridges according
to the frequency with which the printer is used. Use
cost-effective 700 ml cartridges for high-volume poster
printing or select individual 110 or 350 ml cartridges
for monochrome printing.
New printer driver offers greatly improved
ease-of-use
Print settings can be optimized simply by choosing the
desired use or target. This spares you the trouble of
adjusting print settings individually.
On startup, the printer driver automatically checks the
status of the paper loaded in the printer and displays it
in the Media Settings dialog box, preventing errors
caused by failure to check paper status before printing.
The printer driver displays printer settings graphically,
reducing errors caused by inappropriate choices of
settings.
Multifunction Scanner that can be integrated and
installed with the printer
You can connect the optional Multifunction Scanner to
the top of the printer when you use the dedicated stand.
This feature reduces the installation space and allows
you to load documents and print copies at one
location.
Furthermore, this feature provides a stress-free
workflow because printing starts at high speed after
copying.

ODo not install the printer next to heat sources or
directly in the path of air from a ventilator or air
conditioner. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in the print head nozzles drying and
clogging.
OThe print head may not be capped (i.e., may not
move to the right-hand side) if an error occurs and
the printer is turned off without first resolving the
error. Capping is a function for automatically
covering the print head with a cap (lid) to prevent
the print head from drying out. In this case, turn
on the power and wait a while until capping is
performed automatically.
OWhen the power is on, do not remove the power
plug or cut the power at the breaker. The print
head may not be capped properly. In this case, turn
on the power and wait a while until capping is
performed automatically.
OEven when the printer is not in use, some ink will
be consumed by head cleaning and other
maintenance operations needed to keep the print
head in good condition.
Notes when not using the
printer
If you are not using it, note the following points when
storing the printer. If it is not stored correctly, you may
not be able to print properly the next time it is used.
OIf you do not print for a long time, the print head
nozzles may become clogged. We recommend that
you print once a week to prevent the print head
from clogging.
OThe roller may leave an impression on paper that is
left in the printer. This can also cause wavy or
curled paper resulting in paper feeding problems
or the print head could be scratched. Remove any
paper when storing.
OStore the printer after confirming that the print
head has been capped (the print head is positioned
at the far right). If the print head is left uncapped
for a long time, the print quality may decline.
OTo prevent the accumulation of dust and other
foreign matter in the printer, close all covers before
placing it in storage.
If the printer will be not be used for an extended
period, protect it with an anti-static cloth or other
cover.
The print head nozzles are very small, and they can
become clogged easily if fine dust gets on the print
head, and you may not be able to print properly.
OWhen turned on after an extended period of
disuse, the printer may automatically perform
head cleaning to ensure print quality.
Head cleaning will end after about 10 to 15
minutes.
Notes on handling ink cartridges
Note the following points when handling ink
cartridges to maintain good print quality.
OThe supplied ink cartridges and Ink Maintenance
Tank are for use during the initial charging. The
supplied ink cartridges and Ink Maintenance Tank
will be require replacement relatively quickly.
OWe recommend that ink cartridges be stored at
room temperature out of direct sunlight and used
before the expiry date printed on the packaging.
OTo ensure good results, use all the ink in the
cartridge within a year of installation.
OInk cartridges that have been stored at low
temperatures for an extended period should be
allowed to return to room temperature over a
period of four hours.
ODo not touch the IC chips on the tops of the ink
cartridges. You may not be able to print properly.
OInstall all ink cartridges into each slot. You cannot
print if any of the slots are empty.
ODo not leave the printer without ink cartridges
installed. The ink in the printer may dry,
preventing it from printing as expected. Leave ink
cartridges in all slots even while you do not use the
printer.
Note:
If the print head is not capped, turn the printer on, and
then turn it off.
Epson SureColor T-Series User Guide
Introduction

OThe ink level and other data are stored in the IC
chip, allowing cartridges to be used after being
removed and replaced.
OTo avoid getting dirt on the ink supply port, store
the removed ink cartridge properly. The ink
supply port has a valve in it so it does not need to
be capped.
ORemoved ink cartridges may have ink around the
ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on
the surrounding area when removing the
cartridges.
OTo maintain the quality of the print head, this
printer stops printing before ink cartridges are
completely expended.
OAlthough the ink cartridges may contain recycled
materials, this does not affect printer function or
performance.
ODo not dismantle or remodel ink cartridges. You
may not be able to print properly.
ODo not drop or knock ink cartridges against hard
objects; otherwise, the ink may leak.
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
OUse Epson special media under normal room
conditions (temperature: 59 to 77°F (15 to 25°C),
humidity: 40 to 60%).
ODo not fold the paper or scratch the surface of the
paper.
OAvoid touching the printable surface of the paper
with your bare hands. Moisture and oils from your
hands can affect print quality.
OHandle paper by the edges. We recommend
wearing cotton gloves.
OChanges in temperature and humidity may cause
paper to become wavy or curled. Be careful not to
scratch or soil the paper, and flatten it before
loading it in the printer.
ODo not wet the paper.
ODo not throw away the paper packaging as you can
use it for storing the paper.
OAvoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight,
excessive heat, or humidity.
OKeep cut sheets in their original package after
opening, and keep them in a flat place.
ORemove 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.
ODo not rub or scratch the printed surface. If they
are rubbed or scratched, the ink may peel off.
ODo not touch the printed surface; failure to observe
this precaution may cause ink to rub off.
OMake sure the print outs are completely dry before
folding or stacking; otherwise, the color may
change where they touch (leaving a mark). These
marks will disappear if they are separated
immediately and dried; however, they will remain
if not separated.
OIf you put the print outs in an album before they
are completely dry, they may be blurred.
ODo not use a dryer to dry the print outs.
OAvoid direct sunlight.
OPrevent color distortion while displaying or
storing the print outs by following the instructions
in the paper's documentation.

If a single sheet is to be collected, any size or type of
paper can be collected after printing.
The following chart shows the maximum paper lengths
that can be collected.
Maximum paper length when a single sheet is

How to Load Documents
Before you load a document with the thickness of 0.25
mm or larger, carry out the following three actions.
Remove the paper eject guides (when document
thickness is 0.25 mm or more)
Remove all paper eject guides of the scanner.
If the paper eject guides are left attached, the document
will strike them and not be ejected.
Set the document eject direction to forward (when
document thickness is 0.25 mm or more)
Make sure the document eject direction is forward.
If the document is ejected backward with the paper
eject guides removed, the document will fall to the rear
side and be damaged by folding or dirt.
U“Changing the document eject direction” on page
77
Ensure forward and backward space (when
document thickness is 0.25 mm or more)
When the document is read, it is pushed out forward
and backward. The approximate amount of space
required is shown below. If the printer is set up near a
wall, make sure there is enough space at the rear.
Loading documents
1Align the loading guide with the document
loading position.
To ensure that the document is not fed on an
angle, we recommend inserting the long side of
the document.

2With the side of the document to be read facing
up, align the right edge of the document with the
loading guide.
3Insert the document horizontally so that the
entire edge touches all inner rollers.
If the edge touches the roller, the document is
fed to the read start position automatically.
After automatic loading starts, release your
hand and do not obstruct the loading of the
document.
4After the document has been loaded, remove the
loading guide, and then make sure the left edge
of the document and the guide line are aligned.
If the document is copied or scanned with the
loading guide still attached, the edge of the
document may be damaged.

Borderless Printing
You can print your data without margins on the paper.
The types of borderless printing you can choose vary as
shown below depending on the media type.
Roll Paper: No margins for all edges, no margins for
the left and right
Cut Sheets: No margins for the left and right only
(Borderless printing is not available with poster board.)
When printing borderless for all edges, you can also
configure the cutting operation.

Types of Borderless Printing
Methods
You can perform borderless printing using the
following two methods.
OAuto Expand
The printer driver enlarges the print data to a size
slightly larger than the paper size and prints the
enlarged image. The sections which are beyond the
paper edges are not printed; therefore, resulting in
borderless printing.
Use settings such as Page Setup in the applications
to set the size of the image data as follows.
ORetain Size
Create the print data larger than the paper size in
the applications to produce borderless output. The
printer driver does not enlarge the image data. Use
settings such as Page Setup in the applications to
set the size of the image data as follows.
Select this setting if you want to avoid image
enlargement by the printer driver.
Supported Media Sizes for
Borderless Printing
The following media sizes are supported for borderless
printing.
The sizes supported vary with the printer model.
- Match the paper size and page setting for the print
data.
- If the application has margin settings, set the margins
to 0 mm.
- Make the image data as large as the paper size.
- Create print data larger than its actual print size by 3
mm on the left and right (6 mm in total).
- If the application has margin settings, set the margins
to 0 mm.
- Make the image data as large as the paper size.

About Roll Paper Cutting
When performing borderless printing on roll paper, you can specify whether it is left and right borderless printing
or all edges borderless printing, and how to cut the paper in the printer driver's Roll Paper Option. The cutting
operation for each value is shown in the following chart.
Printer driver
settings Borderless Single Cut Double Cut
Cutting Operation
Explanation
The default printer driver
setting is Borderless.
OThe top area may become
slightly uneven depending
on the image since the
print operation stops while
cutting the top edge of the
roll paper.
OIf the cut position is
misaligned slightly, small
parts of the image may be
shown on the top or
bottom of the adjacent
pages. If this occurs,
perform Adjust Cut
Position.
U“The Maintenance
Menu” on page 138
OWhen you print one page
only or print one page
multiple times, the
operation is the same as
that for Double Cut. When
continuously printing
multiple sheets, the printer
cuts 1 mm inside on the
top edge of the first page
and the bottom edge of
the subsequent pages to
avoid showing margins.
OThe top area may become
slightly uneven depending
on the image since the
print operation stops while
cutting the top edge of the
roll paper.
OThe printed paper is
approximately 2 mm
shorter than the specified
size since the printer cuts
the paper inside the image
to avoid showing top and
bottom margins.
OAfter cutting the bottom
edge of the previous page,
the printer feeds the paper,
and then cuts the top edge
of the following page.
Although this produces 60
to 127 mm cut-off pieces,
the cut is more accurate.

About Color Management
Even when using the same image data, the original
image and the displayed image may look different, and
the printed results may look different to the image you
see on the display. This occurs due to the difference in
characteristics when input devices such as scanners
and digital cameras capture colors as electronic data,
and when output devices such as display screens and
printers reproduce colors from the color data. The
color management system is a means to adjust
differences in color conversion characteristics among
input and output devices. A color management system
is included with operating systems such as Windows
and Mac OS, in addition to image processing
applications. Windows and Mac OS X include the ICM
and ColorSync color management systems,
respectively.
In a color management system, a color definition file
called a "Profile" is used to perform color matching
between devices. (This file is also called an ICC profile.)
The profile of an input device is called an input profile
(or source profile), and the profile of an output device,
such as a printer, is called a printer profile (or output
profile). A profile is prepared for each media type in
this printer's driver.
The color conversion areas by the input device and the
color reproduction area by the output device differ. As
a result, there are color areas that do not match even
when performing color matching using a profile. In
addition to specifying profiles, the color management
system also specifies conversion conditions for areas
where color matching failed as "intent". The name and
type of intent vary depending on the color
management system you are using.
You cannot match the colors on the printed results and
display by color management between the input device
and the printer. To match both colors, you need to
perform color management between the input device
and the display as well.
Color Management Print
Settings
You can perform color management printing using
this printer's printer driver in the following two ways.
Choose the best method according to the application
you are using, the operating system environment, the
aim of the print out, and so on.
Setting color management with the applications
This method is for printing from applications that
support color management. All color management
processes are carried out by the application's color
management system. This method is useful when you
want to obtain the same color management print
results using a common application among different
operating system environments.
U“Setting color management with the applications”
on page 110
Setting color management with the printer driver
The printer driver uses the operating system's color
management system and carries out all color
management processes. You can make color
management settings in the printer driver using the
following two methods.
OHost ICM (Windows) / ColorSync (Mac OS X)
Set when printing from applications that support
color management. This is effective in producing
similar print results from different applications
under the same operating systems.
U“Color management printing by Host ICM
(Windows)” on page 111
U“Color management printing by ColorSync
(Mac OS X)” on page 112
ODriver ICM (Windows only)
This allows you to perform color management
printing from applications that do not support
color management.

Setting profiles
Settings for the input profile, printer profile, and intent
(matching method) vary between three types of color
management printing since their color management
engines are used differently. This is because color
management usage differs between the engines. Make
settings in the printer driver or application as described
in the following table.
Printer profiles for each paper type that is needed when

Perceptual Converts the data so that a
more visually natural image is
produced. This feature is used
when a wider gamut of color is
used for image data.
Relative
Colorimetric
Converts the data so that a set
of color gamut and white point
(or color temperature)
coordinates in the original data
match their corresponding
print coordinates. This feature
is used for many types of color
matching.
Absolute
Colorimetric
Assigns absolute color gamut
coordinates to the original and
print data and converts the
data. Therefore, color tone
adjustment is not performed
on any white point (or color
temperature) for the original or
print data. This feature is used
for special purposes such as
logo color printing.

Notes on ink consumption
This is a simple tool for estimating ink consumption for a given print job.
EPSON DOES NOT WARRANT ACCURACY. Actual ink consumption varies
considerably depending on such factors as software used, firmware
version, image printed, print settings, substrate types, frequency of use,
temperature, and variations in printer performance and user preferences
and practices. Estimates do not account for ink used over the life of the
cartridge for ink remaining in the cartridge after the replace cartridge
signal. Some Epson printers have multiple tools for estimating cost or ink
consumption and not all tools work the same way.

If you use the Custom Paper Setting to register print settings for commercial paper on the T7270D/T5270D,
observe the following precautions.
If you are printing on both the Roll 1 and Roll 2, configure them individually, even when the paper is the same. If
the Custom Paper Setting set by the conditions set in Roll 1 is applied to the same type of paper loaded in Roll 2, but
the paper path, paper width, or other print conditions are different, printing will not be performed correctly.

Adjusting the Print Head
You need to adjust the print head if white lines appear
in your print outs or if you notice the print quality has
declined. You can perform the following printer
maintenance functions for maintaining the print head
in good condition to ensure the best print quality.
Carry out appropriate maintenance depending on the
print results and situation.
Checking for clogged nozzles
Perform a nozzle check to check for clogs if the printer
has not been used for an extended period or before
important print jobs. Visually inspect the printed
check pattern and clean the print head if you notice
faint or missing areas.
Cleaning the print head
Clean the print head if you notice faint or missing areas
in printed documents. Cleans the surface of the print
head to improve the print quality. Choose normal or
power cleaning according to the level of cleaning
required.
U“Cleaning the print head” on page 157
Normal cleaning is recommended in most
circumstances. Use power cleaning if the nozzles
remain clogged after normal cleaning has been
performed several times.
Adjusting the print head position (Print Head

Perform Head Alignment if lines are misaligned or
print results are grainy. The Head Alignment function
corrects print misalignments.

OFrom the printer
You can clean all nozzles or select for cleaning only

Notes on head cleaning
Note the following points when performing head
cleaning.
OClean the print head only if print quality declines;
for example, if the printout is blurry or the color is
incorrect or missing. Ink is consumed when head
cleaning is performed.
OCleaning all nozzles consumes some of each color
of ink. Even if you are using only black inks for
black and white printing, color inks are also
consumed.
OWhen repeating head cleaning in a short time
period, the Ink Maintenance Tank may fill up
quickly due to a small amount of ink evaporation
in the Ink Maintenance Tank. Prepare a spare Ink
Maintenance Tank if there is not enough empty
space in the box.
OIf the nozzles are still clogged after cleaning the
print head several times, we recommend trying
power cleaning.
OPower cleaning consumes more ink than normal
head cleaning. Check the remaining ink level in
advance, and prepare a new ink cartridge before
you start cleaning if the ink is low.
OIf the nozzles are still clogged after performing
power cleaning, turn off the printer and leave it
overnight or longer. When left for some time, the
clogged ink may dissolve.
If the nozzles are still clogged, contact your dealer
or Epson Support.

Minimizing Print Misalignments
(Head Alignment)
Because there is a small distance between the print
head and paper, misalignment may occur due to
humidity or temperature, the inertial force of the print
head's movements, or by moving the print head
bidirectionally. This may result in grainy prints or lines
that are incorrectly placed. When this happens,
perform Head Alignment to correct the print
misalignment.
Although Head Alignment can be performed from the
computer or the printer, the alignment procedures
differ as explained below.
OFrom the printer
Head alignment can be performed automatically
or manually.
In auto adjustment, the sensor reads the
adjustment pattern while it is printing, and
automatically registers the optimum adjustment
value to the printer.
Auto head alignment takes about 30 minutes to

complete.
In manual adjustment, you need to check the
pattern and enter the optimum adjustment value
for alignment. Manual alignment can be used with
cut sheets or other paper that does not support
auto alignment or if auto alignment does not fix
the problem completely.
Printing the pattern for manual head alignment
takes from 7 to 11 minutes. The time required
varies with the size of the pattern printed.
Uni-D and Bi-D head alignment are available in
both auto and manual modes. Bi-D is
recommended in most circumstances. Choose
Uni-D if Bi-D head alignment does not completely
fix the problem.
OFrom the computer
A computer can be used for auto head alignment.
In most cases, head alignment can be performed
successfully with just this operation. We normally
recommend this method as this is the simplest
method. Auto head alignment takes about 30
minutes to complete. Manual head alignment can
be performed from the printer's control panel if
you are using cut sheets or other paper that does
not support auto alignment or if auto alignment
does to fix the problem completely.

oWas Head Alignment performed?
With bidirectional printing, the print head prints
while moving left and right. If the print head is
misaligned, ruled lines may be misaligned
accordingly. If vertical ruled lines are misaligned with
bidirectional printing, perform Head Alignment.
U“Minimizing Print Misalignments (Head
Alignment)” on page 158
oAre you using a genuine Epson ink cartridge?
This printer is developed for use with Epson ink
cartridges. If you use non-Epson ink cartridges,
printouts may be faint, or the color of the printed
image may be changed because the remaining ink
level is not correctly detected. Be sure to use the
correct ink cartridge.
oAre you using an old ink cartridge?
The print quality declines when an old ink cartridge is
used. Replace the old ink cartridge with a new one.
We recommend using all the ink in the cartridge
before the expiry date printed on the package
(within a year of installation).
oHave the ink cartridges been shaken?
The ink cartridges for this printer contain pigment
inks. Shake the cartridges thoroughly before
installing them in the printer.
We also recommend that you remove and shake the
installed ink cartridges once every three months to
ensure print quality.
U“Replacing Ink Cartridges” on page 161
oAre the Media Type settings correct?
Print quality is affected if the Media Type you have
selected in the Printer Settings screen (Windows) or
Print screen (Mac OS X) in the printer driver does not
match with the paper that is loaded in the printer. Be
sure to match the media type setting with the paper
that is loaded in the printer.
oDid you select a low quality mode (such as
Speed) as the Print Quality?
If the options selected for Print Quality > Advanced
Settings place priority on speed, quality will be
sacrificed for print speed, potentially causing print
quality to decline. To improve print quality, select
Resolution options that give priority to quality.
oIs color management enabled?

another printer.
The print is not positioned properly
on the media.
Vertical ruled lines are misaligned.
The printed surface is scuffed or
soiled.
oHave you compared the printing result with
the image on the display monitor?
Since monitors and printers produce colors
differently, printed colors will not always match
on-screen colors perfectly.
oDid you open the printer cover while
printing?
If the printer cover is opened while printing, the print
head stops suddenly causing unevenness in the
color. Do not open the printer cover while printing.
oIs Ink Low displayed in the control panel?
The print quality may decline when the ink is low. We
recommend replacing the ink cartridge with a new
one. If there is a difference in color after replacing the
ink cartridge, try performing head cleaning a few
times.
oColors vary depending on the printer type
due to each printer's characteristics.
Because inks, printer drivers, and printer profiles are
developed for each printer model, the colors printed
by different printer models are not exactly the same.
You can achieve similar colors with the same color
adjustment method or the same gamma setting by
using the printer driver.
U“Color Management Printing” on page 109
To match the color precisely, use the color
measurement device to perform color management.
oHave you specified the print area?
Check the print area in the settings of the application
and the printer.
oIs the correct option selected for Paper Size?
If the option selected for Paper Size in the printer
driver does not match the paper loaded in the
printer, the print may not be in the correct position or
some of the data may be printed off the paper. In this
case, check the print settings.
oIs the paper skewed?
If Off is selected for Media Skew Check in the Setup
menu, printing will continue even if the paper is
skewed, resulting in data being printed off the paper.
Select On for Media Skew Check in the Setup menu.
U“Setup menu” on page 139
oDoes the print data fit within the paper
width?

Setup menu is wider than the margins selected in the
application, priority will be given to the value
selected for Roll Paper Margin. For example, if 15
mm is selected for the left and right margins in the
printer Setup menu and the document fills the page,
the 15 mm at the left and right sides of the page will
not be printed.
U“Printable area” on page 63
oIs the print head misaligned? (in

copyrights covering the Original Code, to do the
following:
2.1 Unmodified Code. You may use, reproduce,
display, perform, internally distribute within Your
organization, and Externally Deploy verbatim,
unmodified copies of the Original Code, for
commercial or non-commercial purposes, provided
that in each instance:
(a) You must retain and reproduce in all copies of

download from a web site).
2.3 Distribution of Executable Versions. In addition, if
You Externally Deploy Covered Code (Original Code
and/or Modifications) in object code, executable form
only, You must include a prominent notice, in the code
itself as well as in related documentation, stating that
Source Code of the Covered Code is available under the
terms of this License with information on how and

2.4 Third Party Rights. You expressly acknowledge and
agree that although Apple and each Contributor grants
the licenses to their respective portions of the Covered
Code set forth herein, no assurances are provided by
Apple or any Contributor that the Covered Code does
not infringe the patent or other intellectual property
rights of any other entity. Apple and each Contributor
disclaim any liability to You for claims brought by any
other entity based on infringement of intellectual
property rights or otherwise. As a condition to
exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder,
You hereby assume sole responsibility to secure any
other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For
example, if a third party patent license is required to
allow You to distribute the Covered Code, it is Your
responsibility to acquire that license before
distributing the Covered Code.
3. Your Grants. In consideration of, and as a condition
to, the licenses granted to You under this License, You
hereby grant to any person or entity receiving or

perform, modify, sublicense, distribute and Externally
Deploy Your Modifications of the same scope and
extent as Apple's licenses under Sections 2.1 and 2.2

combining Covered Code with other code not
governed by the terms of this License and distribute the
Larger Work as a single product. In each such instance,
You must make sure the requirements of this License
are fulfilled for the Covered Code or any portion
thereof.
5. Limitations on Patent License. Except as expressly
stated in Section 2, no other patent rights, express or
implied, are granted by Apple herein. Modifications
and/or Larger Works may require additional patent
licenses from Apple which Apple may grant in its sole
discretion.

charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or
liability obligations and/or other rights consistent with
the scope of the license granted herein ("Additional
Terms") to one or more recipients of Covered Code.

defend and hold Apple and every Contributor
harmless for any liability incurred by or claims asserted
against Apple or such Contributor by reason of any
such Additional Terms.

7. Versions of the License. Apple may publish revised
and/or new versions of this License from time to time.
Each version will be given a distinguishing version
number. Once Original Code has been published
under a particular version of this License, You may
continue to use it under the terms of that version. You
may also choose to use such Original Code under the
terms of any subsequent version of this License
published by Apple. No one other than Apple has the
right to modify the terms applicable to Covered Code
created under this License.
8. NO WARRANTY OR SUPPORT. The Covered
Code may contain in whole or in part pre-release,
untested, or not fully tested works. The Covered Code
may contain errors that could cause failures or loss of
data, and may be incomplete or contain inaccuracies.
You expressly acknowledge and agree that use of the
Covered Code, or any portion thereof, is at Your sole
and entire risk. THE COVERED CODE IS
PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTY,
UPGRADES OR SUPPORT OF ANY KIND AND
APPLE AND APPLE'S LICENSOR(S)
(COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS "APPLE" FOR
THE PURPOSES OF SECTIONS 8 AND 9) AND ALL
CONTRIBUTORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL
WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR
CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, OF
SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OF FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OF ACCURACY, OF
QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NONINFRINGEMENT
OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. APPLE AND EACH
CONTRIBUTOR DOES NOT WARRANT AGAINST
INTERFERENCE WITH YOUR ENJOYMENT OF
THE COVERED CODE, THAT THE FUNCTIONS
CONTAINED IN THE COVERED CODE WILL
MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, THAT THE
OPERATION OF THE COVERED CODE WILL BE
UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT
DEFECTS IN THE COVERED CODE WILL BE
CORRECTED. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN
INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY APPLE,
AN APPLE AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OR
ANY CONTRIBUTOR SHALL CREATE A
WARRANTY. You acknowledge that the Covered
Code is not intended for use in the operation of nuclear
facilities, aircraft navigation, communication systems,
or air traffic control machines in which case the failure
of the Covered Code could lead to death, personal
injury, or severe physical or environmental damage.
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE EXTENT
NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL
APPLE OR ANY CONTRIBUTOR BE LIABLE FOR
ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF
OR RELATING TO THIS LICENSE OR YOUR USE
OR INABILITY TO USE THE COVERED CODE, OR
ANY PORTION THEREOF, WHETHER UNDER A
THEORY OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCTS
LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF APPLE OR
SUCH CONTRIBUTOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF
THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF
ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY. SOME
JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS
LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. In no
event shall Apple's total liability to You for all damages
(other than as may be required by applicable law)
under this License exceed the amount of fifty dollars
($50.00).
10. Trademarks. This License does not grant any rights
to use the trademarks or trade names "Apple", "Apple
Computer", "Mac", "Mac OS", "QuickTime",
"QuickTime Streaming Server" or any other
trademarks, service marks, logos or trade names
belonging to Apple (collectively "Apple Marks") or to
any trademark, service mark, logo or trade name
belonging to any Contributor. You agree not to use any
Apple Marks in or as part of the name of products
derived from the Original Code or to endorse or
promote products derived from the Original Code
other than as expressly permitted by and in strict
compliance at all times with Apple's third party
trademark usage guidelines which are posted at
http://www.apple.com/legal/guidelinesfor3rdparties.h

11. Ownership. Subject to the licenses granted under
this License, each Contributor retains all rights, title
and interest in and to any Modifications made by such
Contributor. Apple retains all rights, title and interest
in and to the Original Code and any Modifications
made by or on behalf of Apple ("Apple Modifications"),
and such Apple Modifications will not be
automatically subject to this License. Apple may, at its
sole discretion, choose to license such Apple
Modifications under this License, or on different terms
from those contained in this License or may choose not
to license them at all.

12. Termination.
12.1 Termination. This License and the rights granted
hereunder will terminate:
(a) automatically without notice from Apple if You fail
to comply with any term(s) of this License and fail to
cure such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of
such breach;
(b) immediately in the event of the circumstances
described in Section 13.5(b); or
(c) automatically without notice from Apple if You, at
any time during the term of this License, commence an
action for patent infringement against Apple; provided
that Apple did not first commence an action for patent
infringement against You in that instance.
12.2 Effect of Termination. Upon termination, You
agree to immediately stop any further use,
reproduction, modification, sublicensing and
distribution of the Covered Code. All sublicenses to the
Covered Code which have been properly granted prior
to termination shall survive any termination of this
License. Provisions which, by their nature, should
remain in effect beyond the termination of this License
shall survive, including but not limited to Sections 3, 5,
8, 9, 10, 11, 12.2 and 13. No party will be liable to any
other for compensation, indemnity or damages of any
sort solely as a result of terminating this License in
accordance with its terms, and termination of this
License will be without prejudice to any other right or
remedy of any party.
13. Miscellaneous.
13.1 Government End Users. The Covered Code is a
"commercial item" as defined in FAR 2.101.
Government software and technical data rights in the
Covered Code include only those rights customarily
provided to the public as defined in this License. This
customary commercial license in technical data and
software is provided in accordance with FAR 12.211
(Technical Data) and 12.212 (Computer Software) and,
for Department of Defense purchases, DFAR
252.227-7015 (Technical Data -- Commercial Items)
and 227.7202-3 (Rights in Commercial Computer
Software or Computer Software Documentation).
Accordingly, all U.S. Government End Users acquire
Covered Code with only those rights set forth herein.
13.2 Relationship of Parties. This License will not be
construed as creating an agency, partnership, joint
venture or any other form of legal association between
or among You, Apple or any Contributor, and You will
not represent to the contrary, whether expressly, by
implication, appearance or otherwise.
13.3 Independent Development. Nothing in this
License will impair Apple's right to acquire, license,
develop, have others develop for it, market and/or
distribute technology or products that perform the
same or similar functions as, or otherwise compete
with, Modifications, Larger Works, technology or
products that You may develop, produce, market or
distribute.
13.4 Waiver; Construction. Failure by Apple or any
Contributor to enforce any provision of this License
will not be deemed a waiver of future enforcement of
that or any other provision. Any law or regulation
which provides that the language of a contract shall be
construed against the drafter will not apply to this
License.

13.5 Severability. (a) If for any reason a court of
competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this
License, or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that
provision of the License will be enforced to the
maximum extent permissible so as to effect the
economic benefits and intent of the parties, and the
remainder of this License will continue in full force and
effect. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable
law prohibits or restricts You from fully and/or
specifically complying with Sections 2 and/or 3 or
prevents the enforceability of either of those Sections,
this License will immediately terminate and You must
immediately discontinue any use of the Covered Code
and destroy all copies of it that are in your possession
or control.
13.6 Dispute Resolution. Any litigation or other
dispute resolution between You and Apple relating to
this License shall take place in the Northern District of
California, and You and Apple hereby consent to the
personal jurisdiction of, and venue in, the state and
federal courts within that District with respect to this
License. The application of the United Nations
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of
Goods is expressly excluded.
13.7 Entire Agreement; Governing Law. This License
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof. This License
shall be governed by the laws of the United States and
the State of California, except that body of California
law concerning conflicts of law.
Where You are located in the province of Quebec,
Canada, the following clause applies: The parties
hereby confirm that they have requested that this
License and all related documents be drafted in
English.
Les parties ont exigé que le présent contrat et tous les
documents connexes soient rédigés en anglais.
