Platen Gap
Standard 0
*
Set this when you want to adjust the platen gap according to the
conditions of a particular day, such as if the humidity or weather
affects the print results, making them scuffed or dirty.
This setting is enabled for the platen gap values of Epson Special
Media. Only
Standard 0
can be selected when
Custom Paper
is
selected in
Select Paper Type
.
The platen gap value that was used for the last print job is shown on
the screen. Select a level (0 to +3) to widen this value. Changing this
setting changes the platen gap value on the screen. When you reach
the top limit, the platen gap value does not change, even if the
setting is changed. Normally, select
Standard 0
. The result of the
changes is saved until the next time it is changed. The gap is widen
and printing is done according to this setting for the platen gap
value of that paper, even if you change to a different paper and print
on it.

Drying Time Per
Page
Off
*
Specify how long the printer pauses to allow the ink to dry after
printing each page; choose from values between 0.5 and 60
minutes. Depending on the ink density or paper type, the ink may
take a while to dry. If the ink blurs on the paper, set a longer time for
drying the ink.
The longer the drying time, the more time required for printing.
0.5 to 60 minutes

Choose whether the printer automatically detects (
On
), or does not
automatically detect (
Off
) the width of the media when paper is
loaded. We generally recommend operating with this setting set to
On
. Try choosing
Off
if a paper setting error is displayed when the
paper is correctly loaded. Note, however, that the printer may print
outside the paper when
Off
is selected. If it prints beyond the edges
of the paper, the inside of the printer becomes dirty with ink.
Changed settings are reflected when the paper is re-loaded.

Paper Skew
Check
On
*
If
On
is selected, an error will be displayed in the control panel and
printing will stop if the paper is skewed; select
Off
to disable this
feature.
On
is recommended in most circumstances as skewed
paper may cause the printer to jam.
Off
Paper Feed Sta-
bilizer
On
*
Select whether or not (
On
/
Off
) to allow the sensor to read the back
of the paper during printing and correct any skews detected in the
feed. We generally recommend operating with this setting set to
On
. When using transparent or colored media, set this to
Off
because the detection function is not available for such media. If the
same items are set in
Custom Paper Setting
from the
Paper
menu,
priority is given to this setting.
