cartridge status, so that the cartridge may be
removed and reinserted freely. However, each time
the cartridge is inserted, some ink is consumed
because the printer automatically performs a
reliability check.

the ink supply area from dirt and dust, and store it in
the same environment as this product. Note that
there is a valve in the ink supply port, making covers

the ink from staining items that the cartridge
touches. Do not touch the ink supply port or
surrounding area.

Insistence on Ease-of-Use
Spindle-free roll paper adapter makes loading roll
paper a snap
The lack of a spindle makes it possible to load and
remove roll paper even in environments where space is
at a premium.
To load roll paper, simply place it on the roll rest and
attach roll paper adapters to both ends. The roll rest is
low, making it easy even for short workers to load paper.
U “Loading Roll Paper” on page 24
Easy maintenance
Roll paper and all replacements, including ink
cartridges, Maintenance Boxes, and cutters, are
installed from the front, allowing the printer to be
placed against a wall. The printer does not have to be
moved to allow rear access.
Choose from three sizes of cartridge according to the
task
Choose from 110, 350, and 700 ml cartridges according
to the frequency with which the printer is used. Use
cost-effective 700 ml cartridges for high-volume poster
printing or select individual 110 or 350 ml cartridges for
monochrome printing.

Introduction
New printer driver offers greatly improved
ease-of-use
Print settings can be optimized simply by choosing the
desired use or target. This spares you the trouble of
adjusting print settings individually.
On startup, the printer driver automatically checks the
status of the paper loaded in the printer and displays it in
the Media Settings dialog, preventing errors caused by
failure to check paper status before printing.
The printer driver displays printer settings graphically,
reducing errors caused by inappropriate choices of
settings.
Notes on Usage and Storage

Introduction
Notes when using the printer
Note the following points when using this printer to
avoid breakdowns, malfunctions, and print quality
decline.
❏ When using the printer, observe the operating
temperature and humidity range described in the
"Specifications Table". U “Specifications Table”
on page 149
Even when the conditions above are met, you may
not be able to print properly if the environmental
conditions are not suitable for the paper. Be sure to
use the printer in an environment where the paper’s
requirements are met. For more details, see the
documentation supplied with the paper.
Also, when operating in dry areas, air conditioned
environment, or under direct sunlight, maintain
the appropriate humidity.
❏ Do not install the printer next to heat sources or
directly in the path of air from a ventilator or air
conditioner. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in the print head nozzles drying and
clogging.
❏ If you do not print for a long time, the print head
nozzles may become clogged. We recommend that
you print once a week to prevent the print head
from clogging.
❏ The roller may leave an impression on paper that is
left in the printer. This can also cause wavy or curled
paper resulting in paper feeding problems or the
print head could be scratched. Remove any paper
when storing.
❏ Store the printer after confirming that the print
head has been capped (the print head is positioned
at the far right). If the print head is left uncapped for
a long time, the print quality may decline.
Note:
If the print head is not capped, turn the printer on, and
then turn it off.
❏ To prevent the accumulation of dust and other
foreign matter in the printer, close all covers before
placing it in storage.
If the printer will be not be used for an extended
period, protect it with an anti-static cloth or other
cover.
❏ The print head may not be capped (i.e., may not
move to the right-hand side) if an error occurs and
the printer is turned off without first resolving the
error. Capping is a function for automatically
covering the print head with a cap (lid) to prevent
the print head from drying out. In this case, turn on
the power and wait a while until capping is
performed automatically.
❏ When the power is on, do not remove the power
plug or cut the power at the breaker. The print head
may not be capped properly. In this case, tu rn on the
power and wait a while until capping is performed
automatically.
❏ Even when the printer is not in use, some ink will be
consumed by head cleaning and other maintenance
operations needed to keep the print head in good
condition.
Notes when not using the printer
If you are not using it, note the following points when
storing the printer. If it is not stored correctly, you may
not be able to print properly the next time it is used.
The print head nozzles are very small, and they can
become clogged easily if fine dust gets on the print
head, and you may not be able to print properly.
❏ When turned on after an extended period of disuse,
the printer may automatically perform head
cleaning to ensure print quality.
Head cleaning will end after about 10 to 15 minutes.
Notes on handling ink cartridges
Note the following points when handling ink cartridges
to maintain good print quality.
❏ The supplied ink cartridges and Maintenance Box
are for use during the initial charging. The supplied
ink cartridges and Maintenance Box will be require
replacement relatively quickly.
❏ We recommend that ink cartridges be stored at
room temperature out of direct sunlight and used
before the expiry date printed on the packaging.
18
SC-T7000 Series/SC-T5000 Series/SC-T3000 Series User's Guide
Introduction
❏ To ensure good results, use all the ink in the
cartridge within a year of installation.
❏ Ink cartridges that have been stored at low
temperatures for an extended period should be
allowed to return to room temperature over a
period of four hours.
❏ Do not touch the IC chips on the sides of ink
cartridges. You may not be able to print properly.
❏ Install all ink cartridges into each slot. You cannot
print if any of the slots are empty.
❏ Do not leave the printer without ink cartridges
installed. The ink in the printer may dry, preventing
it from printing as expected. Leave ink cartridges in
all slots even while you do not use the printer.
❏ The ink level and other data are stored in the IC
chip, allowing cartridges to be used after being
removed and replaced.
❏ To avoid getting dirt on the ink supply port, store
the removed ink cartridge properly. The ink supply
port has a valve in it so it does not need to be capped.
❏ Removed ink cartridges may have ink around the
ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink on
the surrounding area when removing the
cartridges.
Notes on Handling
❏ Use Epson special media under normal room
conditions (temperature: 15 to 25˚C; humidity: 40
to 60%).
❏ Do not fold the paper or scratch the surface of the
paper.
❏ Avoid touching the printable surface of the paper
with your bare hands. Moisture and oils from your
hands can affect print quality.
❏ Handle paper by the edges. We recommend
wearing cotton gloves.
❏ Changes in temperature and humidity may cause
paper to become wavy or curled. Be careful not to
scratch or soil the paper, and flatten it before
loading it in the printer.
❏ Do not wet the paper.
❏ Do not throw away the paper packaging as you can
use it for storing the paper.
❏ Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight,
excessive heat, or humidity.
❏ Keep cut sheets in their original package after
opening, and keep them in a flat place.
❏ To maintain the quality of the print head, this
printer stops printing before ink cartridges are
completely expended.
❏ Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled
materials, this does not effect printer function or
performance.
❏ Do not dismantle or remodel ink cartridges. You
may not be able to print properly.
❏ Do not drop or knock it against hard objects;
otherwise, the ink may leak.
Notes on handling paper
Note the following points when handling and storing
the paper. If the paper is not in good condition, print
quality may decline.
Check the documentation supplied with each paper.
❏ Remove roll paper that is not in use from the
printer. Rewind it correctly and then store it in the
original packaging that came with the roll paper. If
you leave the roll paper in the printer for a long
time, its quality may decline.
Notes on handling printed paper
To maintain long lasting, high quality print results, note
the following points.
❏ Do not rub or scratch the printed surface. If they are
rubbed or scratched, the ink may peel off.
❏ Do not touch the printed surface; Failure to observe
this precaution may cause ink to rub off.
❏ Make sure the print outs are completely dry before
folding of stacking; otherwise, the color may change
where they touch (leaves a mark). These marks will
disappear if they are separated immediately and
dried; however, they will remain if not separated.

Introduction
❏ If you put the print outs in an album before they are
completely dry, they may be blurred.
❏ Do not use a dryer to dry the print outs.
❏ Avoid direct sunlight.
❏ Prevent color distortion while displaying or storing
the print outs by following the instructions in the
paper’s documentation.
Note:
Typically, print outs and photos fade over time (color
distortion) due to the effects of light and various
constituents in the air. This also applies to Epson special
media. However, with the correct storage method, the
degree of color distortion can be minimized.
❏ See the documentation supplied with Epson special
media for detailed information on handling the
paper after printing.

slightly larger than the paper size and prints the
enlarged image. The sections which are beyond the
paper edges are not printed; therefore, resulting in
borderless printing.
Use settings such as Page Layout in the appli cations
to set the size of the image data as follows.
- Match the paper size and page setting for the print
data.
- If the application has margin settings, set the
margins to 0 mm.
- Make the image data as large as the paper size.

About Roll Paper Cutting
When performing borderless printing on roll paper, you can specify whether it is left and right borderless printing or
all edges borderless printing, and how to cut the paper in the printer driver’s Roll Paper Option. The cutting operation
for each value is shown in the following chart.
Printer driver
settings
Cutting Operation
Explanation
Borderless Single Cut Double Cut
The default printer driver setting
is Borderless.
❏ The top area may become
slightly uneven depending
on the image since the print
operation stops while
cutting the top edge of the
roll paper.
❏ If the cut position is
misaligned slightly, small
parts of the image may be
shown on the top or
bottom of the adjacent
pages. If this occurs,
perform Adjust Cut
Position.
U “Enlarged Copy menu”
on page 112
❏ When printing only one
page the operation
performed is the same as
that for Double Cut. When
continuously printing
multiple sheets, the printer
cuts 1 mm inside on the top
edge of the first page and
the bottom edge of the
subsequent pages to avoid
showing margins.
❏ The top area may become
slightly uneven depending
on the image since the print
operation stops while
cutting the top edge of the
roll paper.
❏ The printed paper is
approximately 2 mm
shorter than the specified
size since the printer cuts
the paper inside the image
to avoid showing top and
bottom margins.
❏ After cutting the bottom
edge of the previous page,
the printer feeds the paper,
and then cuts the top edge
of the following page.
Although this produces 60
to 127 mm cut-off pieces,
the cut is more accurate.

About Color Management
Even when using the same image data, the original
image and the displayed image may look different, and
the printed results may look different to the image you
see on the display. This occurs due to the difference in
characteristics when input devices such as scanners and
digital cameras capture colors as electronic data, and
when output devices such as display screens and
printers reproduce colors from the color data. The color
management system is a means to adjust differences in
color conversion characteristics among input and
output devices. As well as applications for image
processing, each operating system is equipped with a
color management system, such as ICM for Windows
and ColorSync for Mac OS X.
In a color management system, a color definition file
called a "Profile" is used to perform color matching
between devices. (This file is also called an ICC profile.)
The profile of an input device is called an input profile
(or source profile), and of an output device, such as a
printer, is called a printer profile (or output profile). A
profile is prepared for each media type in this printer’s
driver.
The color conversion areas by the input device and the
color reproduction area by the output device differ. As a
result, there are color areas that do not match even when
performing color matching using a profile. In addition
to specifying profiles, the color management system
also specifies conversion conditions for areas where
color matching failed as "intent". The name and type of
intent vary depending on the color management system
you are using.
Color Management Print Settings
You can perform color management printing using this
printer’s printer driver in the following two ways.
Choose the best method according to the application
you are using, the operating system environment, the
aim of the print out and so on.
Setting color management with the applications
This method is for printing from applications that
support color management. All color management
processes are carried out by the application’s color
management system. This method is useful when you
want to obtain the same color management print results
using a common application among different operating
system environments.
U “Setting color management with the applications”
on page 85
Setting color management with the printer driver
The printer driver uses the operating system’s color
management system and carries out all color
management processes. You can make color
management settings in the printer driver using the
following two methods.
❏ Host ICM (Windows)/ColorSync (Mac OS X)
Set when printing from applications that support
color management. This is effective in producing
similar print results from different applications
under the same operating systems.
U “Color management printing by Host ICM
(Windows)” on page 86
U “Color management printing by ColorSync
(Mac OS X)” on page 87
❏ Driver ICM (Windows only)
You cannot match the colors on the printed results and
display by color management between the input device
and the printer. To match both colors, you need to
perform color management between the input device
and the display as well.
This allows you to perform color management
printing from applications that do not support
color management.

Setting profiles
Settings for the input profile, printer profile, and intent
