o
Are you using the printer at normal room
temperature?
Epson special media should be used at normal room
temperature (temperature: 15 to 25°C, humidity: 40
to 60%). For information about paper such as thin
paper from other manufacturers that requires
special handling, see the documentation supplied
with the paper.
o
Is there a gap between both edges of the
roll paper and the flanges?
Confirm that the spindle flanges are right up against
both edges of the roll paper, with no gaps. If there
are any gaps, then the paper is fed at an angle, and
this may result in wrinkling.
