Solving Paper Problems
If paper feed or paper jam problems occur frequently, try one or more of the
following solutions:
•
For roll paper, try adjusting the Paper Suction setting. See page 75 for
more information. You can also adjust this setting through your printer
driver.
•
For heavy or thick media, follow the instructions on page 67 to load the
media correctly.
•
Make sure the paper is not folded, wrinkled, or damp.
•
Make sure the printer’s environment falls within the required
temperature and humidity range.
•
Make sure the paper is not too thick or too thin. See pages 55 and
166 to 168 for paper specifications.
•
Make sure no foreign objects are inside the paper path.
•
Make sure the printer isn’t located in a brightly lit area. The paper
sensors may not operate correctly.
•
Make sure the
Media Type
and
Paper Source
settings in the printer
software are correct.
•
Make sure the platen gap setting is correct for the paper or media you’re
printing on. See page 69 for more information.
•
If you’re not using Epson media, use a paper configuration to adjust for
the paper’s thickness and drying time; see page 75.
