• CUT METHOD
lets you decrease the cutting blade pressure for
thinner media, or adjust the speed for thick media. You may need to
experiment to determine the cleanest cut for your paper.
• PPR FEED ADJUSTMENT
helps eliminate banding. Choose a
lower value if you see white lines on your prints, or a higher value if
you see dark lines.
• DRYING TIME
lets you print with non-Epson media and
avoid smearing the ink. You can make the print head wait up to
10 seconds after each pass to allow ink to dry on the page.
• PAPER SUCTION
lets you decrease the paper suction level when
printing on thin media (under 12 lb), such as drafting paper or
backlight film.

pattern. This
improves print quality, but lowers printing speed.
