Introduction

Features of Printer

Realizing High Resolution

CAD drawings that are clear, legible, and can even be used safely outdoors

Newly-developed Epson UltraChrome XD2 ink enables the printer to produce extremely detailed drawings both in black and white and in color.

The supplied printer driver offers a line drawing mode, making it easier to optimize printing for line drawing and, through unsurpassed reproduction of line drawing and fine lines in the form of connected lines, diagonals, and curves, ensuring the best possible results when the printer is used for drawings.

In addition, you can even safely take your drawings outdoors with you because they are printed using ink with excellent water resistance.

U “Specifications Table” on page 222

Automatic switching between auto sheet feeder (cut sheets) and roll paper

You can load roll paper in the printer, and load multiple sheets of A3 or smaller paper in the auto sheet feeder at the same time. Selecting one of them from the printer driver's Source settings allows you to automatically switch paper and print easily.

Smooth operation while checking the operating instructions on the screen

In addition to having a screen design that enables intuitive operation, this printer allows you to check illustrated instructions of operations such as how to load paper.

U Operator's Guide (booklet or PDF)

U “Printing CAD Drawings” on page 59

Posters and displays that are vivid and also allow for short-term outdoor display

Posters with vivid hues can be printed simply by selecting, for example, Poster (Photo)/Perspective in Select Target of the supplied printer driver.

Using ink with superb light resistance means that prints made for indoor use will take a very long time to fade.

Your posters will last even longer if you use lamination processing.

The effect differs depending on the paper.

Insistence on Ease-of-Use

Space-saving large-format printer

As the printer is smaller and lighter than our standard large-format printers, it does not take up as much space. The model without a stand can even be placed on a drawing storage cabinet or the like. See the following for dimensions.

Printer driver that is simple and easy to operate

Print settings can be optimized simply by choosing the desired use or target. This saves you the trouble of adjusting print settings individually. When you select a Source setting, printing failures due to paper loading mistakes are reduced because the size and type of paper loaded in the printer are applied automatically.

In addition to checking the set conditions in an illustration in the printer driver, you can also check a detailed image in the preview screen before printing.

Support for wireless LAN connection

This printer can be freely placed where desired without considering cable routing because it can connect with a computer via a wireless LAN to print. Of course, it also supports a wired LAN connection.

Furthermore, even if your device is not connected to a LAN, this printer also allows printing by directly connecting with it using Wi-Fi Direct.

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 222 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.

SC-T3100M Series/SC-T5100 Series/SC-T3100 Series/SC-T5100N Series/SC-T3100N Series/SC-T2100 Series User's Guide

Introduction

❏ 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, turn on the power and wait a while until capping is performed automatically.

❏ Even when printing is not performed, some of

each color of ink will be consumed by ink cartridge replacement, print head cleaning, and other maintenance operations needed to keep the print head in good condition.

❏ The printer may automatically perform print

head cleaning to maintain good printing quality. Please wait until cleaning finishes without opening any of the covers or turning off the power.

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.

❏ 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 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.

❏ The print head may fail if the environmental

temperature becomes -10°C or lower. If the environmental temperature in the room or during transport is expected to become -10°C or lower, be sure to discharge the ink in advance. U “Handling if Transporting/Leaving the

Printer in an Environment of -10°C or Less” on page 218

Notes on handling ink cartridges

❏ When storing the printer, store it flat with the ink

cartridges installed. Do not place the printer tilted, upright, or upside down.

❏ 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.

Note the following points when handling ink cartridges to maintain good print quality.

❏ The ink cartridges packaged with your printer are

partly used during initial setup. In order to produce high quality printouts, the print head in your printer will be fully charged with ink. This one-off process consumes a quantity of ink and therefore these cartridges may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink cartridges.

❏ The Initial Cartridge included with the printer is

designed for printer setup and not for resale or later use. After some ink is used for charging, the rest is available for printing. For the initial setup, make sure you use the Initial Cartridge.

❏ We recommend that ink cartridges be stored at

room temperature out of direct sunlight and used before the expiry date printed on the packaging.

SC-T3100M Series/SC-T5100 Series/SC-T3100 Series/SC-T5100N Series/SC-T3100N Series/SC-T2100 Series User's Guide

Introduction

❏ To ensure good results, use all the ink in the

cartridges within 6 months of opening the packages.

❏ Do not open the ink cartridge package until you

are ready to install it in the printer. A vacuum pack is used to maintain quality.

❏ 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 at least three hours.

❏ Be sure to peel off the tape (yellow) before

installing an ink cartridge. If you attempt to forcibly install an ink cartridge without removing the tape, the printer may become unable to print properly. Never peel off anything else such as the film or label. Otherwise, ink could leak.

❏ Do not touch the IC chip on the ink cartridge.

You may not be able to print properly. U “Replacing Ink Cartridges” on page 180

❏ Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled

materials, this does not affect printer function or performance.

❏ Do not dismantle or remodel ink cartridges. You

may not be able to print properly.

❏ Do not drop or otherwise subject an ink cartridge

to a strong impact. Ink may leak from the cartridge.

❏ Even when the printer is not in use, some of each

color of ink will be consumed by ink cartridge replacement, print head cleaning, and other maintenance operations needed to keep the print head in good condition.

❏ A mixture of color inks may be used to print

black depending on the paper type and print quality settings even for black and white and grayscale printing.

Notes on handling paper

❏ Install the ink cartridges for all the colors.

Printing is not possible if they are not all installed.

❏ Do not leave the printer without ink cartridges

installed. The print head nozzles may dry and printing may become no longer possible.

❏ The ink level and other data are stored in the IC

chip, allowing cartridges to be used after being removed and replaced. However, if an ink cartridge with not much ink remaining is removed and reinstalled, it may not be usable because some ink is consumed to ensure the reliability of the printer.

❏ To avoid getting dust on the ink supply port, store

a removed partially used ink cartridge with the ink supply port downward or horizontal in the same environment as this product. 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.

❏ To maintain the quality of the print head, this

printer stops printing before ink cartridges are completely expended.

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.

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. Check the following points.

❏ Load the paper just before printing.

❏ Do not use wavy or curled paper.

For roll paper, cut off the wavy or curled parts and then load it again.

SC-T3100M Series/SC-T5100 Series/SC-T3100 Series/SC-T5100N Series/SC-T3100N Series/SC-T2100 Series User's Guide

Introduction

For cut sheets, use new paper.

❏ 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.

❏ 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 print outs. If they are

rubbed or scratched, the ink may peel off.

❏ Do not touch the surface of print outs. The ink

may peel off.

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.

❏ The colors of photos, posters, and other printed

materials appear different under different lighting conditions (light sources

from this printer may also appear different under different light sources. * Light sources include sunlight, fluorescent light, incandescent light, and other types.

). The colors of print outs

Saving Power

The printer enters sleep mode or turns off automatically if no operations are performed for a set period. You can adjust the time before power management is applied. Any increase will affect the product's energy efficiency. Please consider the environment before making any change.

❏ 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.

❏ 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.

Sleep mode

The printer enters sleep mode when there are no errors, no print jobs being received, and no control panel or other operations performed. When the printer enters sleep mode, the control panel's screen turns off and the internal motors and other parts switch off to consume less power.

Sleep mode is exited if a print job is received or the screen of the control panel is touched.

You can set the time it takes for the printer to enter sleep mode. At default settings, the printer enters sleep mode if no operations are performed for 15 minutes. The time it takes for the printer to enter sleep mode can be changed in the Basic Settings menu.

U “General Settings - Basic Settings” on page 136

Note:

When the printer enters sleep mode, the control panel's screen goes blank as if the power has been turned off,

but the P light remains lit.

Color Management Printing

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. A color management system is included with operating systems such as Windows and Mac OS, in addition to image processing applications. Windows and Mac OS X include the ICM and ColorSync color management systems, respectively.

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 75

Setting color management with the printer driver

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 the profile 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.

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.

The printer driver uses the operating system's color management system and carries out all color management processes. You can configure the 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 77

U “Color Management Printing by ColorSync

❏ Driver ICM (Windows only)

This allows you to perform color management printing from applications that do not support color management. U “Color Management Printing by Driver ICM

(Windows Only)” on page 79

Setting profiles

Settings for the input profile, printer profile, and intent (matching method) vary between three types of color management printing since their color management engines are used differently.

Intent Explanation

Relative Colorimetric

Absolute Colorimetric

Converts the data so that a set of color gamut and white point (or color temperature) coordinates in the original data match their corresponding print coordinates. This feature is used for many types of color matching.

Assigns absolute color gamut coordinates to the original and print data and converts the data. Therefore, color tone adjustment is not performed on any white point (or color temperature) for the original or print data. This feature is used for special purposes such as logo color printing.

Check other settings, and then start printing.

If you select Driver ICM (Advanced), you can specify the profile and intent for each type of image data such as photos, graphics data, and text data.

Intent Explanation

Saturation Keeps the current saturation

unchanged and converts the data.

Perceptual Converts the data so that a

more visually natural image is produced. This feature is used when a wider gamut of color is used for image data.

This function is only available when Auto Sheet Feeder is selected as the Source. This function cannot be used for Roll Paper or Sheet.

After you have finished printing even pages, you can turn the paper over, re-load it, and then print the odd pages to create double-sided prints.

Notes on double-sided printing

Note the following points when performing double-sided printing.

❏ Make sure you use paper that supports

double-sided printing.

❏ Depending on the type of paper and the data

being printed, the ink may smear on the back of the paper.

❏ Continuous double-sided printing can lead to a

decline in print quality and paper jams. If print quality declines, lower the ink density in the printer driver or try printing one sheet at a time.

❏ If you perform double-sided printing

continuously, the inside of the printer may be smeared with ink. Clean the rollers if the paper is smeared after printing. U “Smearing occurs when printing from the

auto sheet feeder” on page 194

Note:

Printing in combination with Multi-Page Printing (N-up) can help to save more paper.
