Printing
Follow the instructions below to print correctly on
your media.
1. Register media settings to the printer and
print information to the RIP
Register the media settings to the printer based on the
characteristics of your media, and register the print
information in the RIP.
Epson provides an EMX file that combines media settings
and print information for most major commercially
available media.
You can easily perform the following operations in
wizard format using the software RIP "Epson Edge Print"
supplied with the printer.

2. Set the RIP for jobs with a print length longer
than three hours so that it is within three hours
The printer cannot print continuously for more than
three hours. The print length that you can print within
three hours depends on the number of passes set in the
print quality of the RIP.
See the following for more information on the print
length determined by the number of passes. Also, see
the following for more information on making a job fit
within three hours.

registered to the printer in step 1.
Optimize the media settings (Print Adjustments) to
correct individual differences in your media and printer
so that you can perform optimal printing using your
media and printer combination.
