• Enhanced Matte Paper
• Textured Fine Art Paper
• Ultra Smooth Fine Art Paper
Left and right margins can be set to zero. In this case the upper and lower margins are set by the roll paper margin settings.
Cuts the top and bottom edges in the way as described below to create a printout without margins on all four sides:
• The top edge of the first page is cut off leaving “minimum cut margin”.during the printing.
• No margin is created between pages and the printer cuts on the boundary to separate the pages.
• The bottom edge of the last page is cut off after the printing is complete.
Cuts the top and bottom edges in the way as described below to create a printout without margins on all four sides.
• The top edge of the first page is cut off leaving “auto refresh margin” during the printing.
• Each time printing one page is complete, the bottom edge is cut off and the paper is fed a little (create a minimum cut margin between pages), and the top edge of the next page is cut off during printing. This mode is more accurate than the Single Cut mode as it cuts the paper twice to separate pages.

• As the top edge of the first page is cut by interrupting the printing operation, off-registration may occur causing irregular color on the printed image depending on the print job.
• The cutting position is set to a line 1 mm inside from the actual top and bottom edges allowing for cutter position deviation. So the length of the printout becomes about 2mm smaller than the specified size.

NOTE "*1": There are no borderless printing guarantees for cut sheet paper.
"*2": Borderless printing is not guaranteed if a number of outer layers of th e
roll surface have stretched due to moisture absorption.
"*3": Borderless printing on media and sizes other than those listed above are
guaranteed the same way as the Stylus Pro 7600/9600 do. However, if media that has been stretched by humidity and other environmental conditions is used, it is possible that borders on the right and left hand sides may occur.
Bleeding print width for pri nti ng off both left and right edges
The bleeding print width for the left and right edges can be selected among the following settings using the printer driver.
Left (opposite home side) = 1.5mm/ Right (home side) = 1.5mmLeft (opposite home side) = 3.0mm/ Right (home side) = 3.0mm (Default)Left (opposite home side) = 5.0mm/ Right (home side) = 3.0mm *
NOTE "*1": If humid environmental conditions have caused the media to stretch,
“Left (opposite home side) = 5.0mm/ Right (home side) = 3.0mm” selection is recommended to prevent left and right edge margins occurring.
"*2": The “Left (opposite home side) = 5.0mm/ Right (home side) = 3.0mm”
setting shifts the center position of the image 1 mm away from that of the print data.

1.4.4.4 Platen Gap
This function allows you to select a gap between the printhead and paper (platen) from the five options (narrow, standard, wide, wider, widest). The platen gap set in the Custom Paper menu for the user-defined paper type (other than standard) has the higher priority than that made by this Platen Gap menu. If, however, the paper thickness sensor detects the paper as over 0.81mm, the platen gap is automatically set to the Widest. The table below shows the details of the five option.

1.4.4.5 Page Lines
This menu allows you to print or not print a page lines (cutoff lines). The page line, a black solid line with 1 dot width, cannot be printed on cut sheet media (only for roll paper). This setting, however, is ignored when a print job is made by the printer driver (printer driver settings has the priority). If the paper width setting of the printer driver is narrower than that of roll paper loaded on the printer, a vertical page line is printed on the paper as the right edge of the paper size specified by the driver. The page line is printed in the same resolution with the image.
NOTE: The vertical page line is not printed when the print job is sent without
specifying the paper size (horizontal page lines can be printed.)

1.4.4.9 Page Size Check
The printer automatically detects the width of loaded media if this function is set to ON. Disabling this (setting it to OFF) is not recommended especially when performing a Borderless printing because the printer performs a print job even if the specified print size (width) is bigger than the width of the loaded paper and result in printing directly on the platen. When paper initializing or print starting, for distance between grid roller and #1 nozzle, paper is fed unconditionally. The print starts from the position. (N o back-feed with other sequences) Although the paper that is under grid roller will be wasteful, place emphasis on printing even for low reflection paper. Cut sheets and auto loading have same specification. The above paper width detection OFF sequence is just for the first page in case of roll paper. Paper auto cutting is not checked whether it cuts off or not. If this function is set to OFF, the Paper Skew Check for a cut sheet at the time it is loaded is not performed.

1.4.4.10 Paper Skew Check
When this is set to “ON”, the printer automatically detects that a paper is loaded or fed at an angle and causes a paper skew error. If this is set to OFF, the error does not occur and printing is continued even if the paper is loaded at an angle or skewed during printing causing a off-paper printing. Although this menu is disabled when “cut sheet” is selected as paper source, the printer can detect a skewed cut sheet when starting printing if the Paper Size Check function is set to ON. If a cut sheet is skewed during printing, however, it cannot be detected.

1.4.4.11 Time Out
This menu allows you to select a time period for job time out from five options. When a transmission of print job from the host is interrupted for the set time period, the printer judges that the job is finished and ejects the paper. This setting is ignored when the host sends a duplex print job with the interface specified.

1.4.4.12 Cutter Adjustment
This menu is provided to adjust a position to cut top and bottom edges of media to produce a full-bleed print on all four sides (Borderless print). So, the menu is enabled only when the “Roll Auto Cut ON” is selecte d as paper source. When you press the [Enter] button with the EXECUTE highlighted, the printer prints a cutter position adjustment pattern and cuts the pattern at its center. The adjustment can be made simply by entering a number printed with the most accurately cut block pattern into the entry screen.
If you select this menu with the paper source set to other than the “Roll Auto Cut ON”, the printer stops to operate displaying a message "Commanded Function Can Not Be Executed” for three seconds, and then returns to the Printer Setup menu screen.
Cutter position adjust ment pattern
The pattern is comprised of 17 two-toned blocks as shown in the figure below. The blocks of exactly the same size are neatly aligned and the boundary of the two colors on them is slightly shifted by each block. They are cut off at their horizontal center. The difference in color between the upper and lower portions of each block makes it easier to find out which one is most accurately cut on the boundary of the two colors.

1.4.4.13 Refresh Margin
This function is used to feed paper by the amount of “minimum cut length” and cut it before starting the next print job after making a 4-side borderless print. Ink smudges or printed image left on the top edge of the paper due to the 4-side borderless printing are cut off to “refresh” the top edge for the next job.

1.4.4.14 Auto Nozzle Check
The printer automatically checks nozzles for clogging before starting each print job when this is set to ON with the “1.4.4.15 Auto Cleaning” (p.71) also set to ON. This function is useful when performing a lot of print jobs taking many hours or a day and the user has no time to check the nozzle clogging. A JS command triggers the “Auto Nozzle Check”. The printer does not perform the check if the print job does not include the JS command. When the printer runs out of paper at the time of the “Auto Nozzle Check”, it causes “Paper Out” error and waits paper for being loaded.

1.4.4.15 Auto Cleaning
The printer automatically runs a head cleaning when this is set to ON. If the “Auto Nozzle Check” is also set to ON, the printer prints an Auto Nozzle Check pattern to examine the pattern and runs the cleaning depending on the result before starting each job. If you perform the Nozzle Check function in the TEST PRINT of the Panel Setting menu with the Auto Cleaning set to ON, the automatic cleaning sequence; printing an Auto Nozzle Check pattern, examining the pattern, and running a head cleaning, is performed. If the Auto Cleaning is set to OFF when you conduct the Nozzle Check, a pattern for manual nozzle check is printed. When performing the Nozzle Check using the printer driver or utility, automatic cutting operation after printing the check pattern is performed according to the Auto Cut setting of the printer.
NOTE: If the width of media loaded in the printer is smaller than that of A4-size,
the Auto Nozzle Check pattern is printed but not examined automatically.

1.4.4.16 Quiet Cut
The “Quiet Cut” enables the slowest cutting mode (20 CPS). The default is OFF. This is effective to cut thick media and reduces cutting noise and paper dust. For cutting operation to create a 4-side borderless print, however, this setting cannot be used because the slower the cutting speed is the more likely to cause off-registration.

1.4.4.18 Printing Nozzle Check Pattern (Test Print Menu)
The nozzle check pattern printed by executing the Nozzle Check in the TEST PRINT menu has two types; one for automatic checking and the other one for manual checking. Switching between the automatic and manual nozzle checking is made by the Auto Cleaning setting. Both patterns are printed with the following information; the firmware version, available capacity of the Maintenance Tank, and usage counters for paper and ink.

C H E C K
P O I N T
This life counter should be used as a guideline. As the actual life of the cutter varies depending on various factors, it must be replaced on the basis of observed conditions.
CR Motor life
Calculation method
The life of the CR motor is regarded as that of the Ink Supply Tube because a malfunction of the tube due to its wear can cause a serious failure of the CR motor. The guaranteed life of the Ink Supply Tube is defined by the number of Carriage movement cycles, so the remaining amount of the CR motor life is obtained based on the Carriage movement cycles.

"*2": The EX1B command sends the value in 1-msec units and the media table area in the
printer also records in 1-msec units. However, with the printer utility or the panel setting, the unit is 100 msec. So even when the value is specified in 1-msec or 10­msec, the panel displays the value in 100-msec unit rounding it down to the nearest hundredth of a millisecond.
Note • The values set by EX 1B commands are the same as the parameters shown in the table.

1.4.4.34 BK Ink Change
This menu is provided for the Stylus Pro 7800/7880/7880C/9800/9880/9880C. The printer displays instructions for replacing the Photo or Matte black cartridge with the other one on the LCD panel in accordance with operations made by the user.
NOTE: The Stylus Pro 7400/7450/9400/9450 are not equipped with this
function. However, replacing the Matte black cartridge with Photo black one is available. (the printers display a confirmation message when the Photo black is inserted.) Note that the panel display and the status sheet do not reflect the ink change. The name of the black ink remains as “Matte black” even after replacing it with Photo black.
1.4.4.35 Power Cleaning
The “Power Cleaning” is a function to clean the printhead more powerfully than normal head cleaning. As this includes cleaning the choke, an operator is required to move the ink lever in accordance with the panel message.
Power Cleaning Triggers
“Power Cleaning” is displayed on the LCD when any one of the following conditions are met.
After executing manual cleaning three times in a row.When the printer is turned On after a lapse of 20 days or longer from the last
Power Cleaning.
When the printer is turned On after an interval of one month or longer.
1.4.4.36 Clock Setting
This menu allows the user to set current date and time to correct the time difference. The set time is compared to the absolute control time maintained by the RTC power source, and the printer maintains the set time by keeping the difference between them. The set time is used for the Job Information.
This time setting is disabled if the time synchronization is adopted by the TypeB interface. And it is also disabled when the NTP is using the time synchronization (when date and time is entered, an error message is displayed for three seconds and the printer returns to the MAINTENANCE menu screen .)
1.4.4.37 Contrast Adjustment
The contrast of the LCD panel can be adjusted by this menu. The adjustable range is plus or minus 20 levels from the center value. The level decreases or increases by 1 level each time the [Paper Feed ( )] button is pressed.
NOTE: If a “Maintenance Tank Near Full” or “Ink Low” error occurs after
performing the cleaning, press the [Enter ] button. The printer displays the error message for three seconds and then returns to the menu screen. If the Maintenance Tank error occurs during the cleaning, the cleaning is interrupted and cannot be continued unless taking a corrective action (replacing the tank or etc.).

1.4.4.38 Head Alignment (Bi-D Adjustment, Uni-D Adjustment)
This function allows the user to make the Bi-D and Uni-D adjustments in accordance with the thickness of paper to be used. The adjustments can be carried out automatically by selecting the “Auto” in the “Alignment” menu. When the “Auto” is selected, the printer prints an adjustment pattern, checks the pattern, and make the adjustments according to the detected result automatically.
Procedure
1. Set the paper.
2. Select the “Head Alignment” menu from the panel.
3. Select the “Standard” in the “Paper Thickness” menu if the paper is EPSON paper with thickness of 0.2 or 1.2 mm. If the paper does not fit the requirements, the thickness can be entered in increments of 0.1 mm.
4. Select “Auto” or “Manual” in the “Alignment” menu.
5. Select the pattern from “Uni-D”, Bi-D 2 Color”, and “Bi-D All” and execute it. “Printing” will be displayed on the LCD.
6. Check the printed adjustment pattern and enters the number of the line or block with the least displacement for each color.
7. Repeat Step 5 to 6 until the all three adjustments are completed.
NOTE: For details on the adjustment patterns, see “Head Alignment
adjustment patterns (p. 103)”.
Adjustment Method
The printer calculates the Uni-D and Bi-D correction values based on the “Head Alignment” result, Platen Gap setting and the paper thickness.The correction values are classified by five Platen Gap settings (0.8mm/1.2mm/1.5mm/2.1mm/
2.6mm) and stored on the NVRAM to create a table to be referred to from that time. The setting table is rewritten each time the adjustments are made. The table below shows how the printer stores the settings.
