1.3.4 Borderless Printing Specification
AVAILABLE PAPER TYPE
For the paper types and sizes that support the borderless printing, see "1.3.2.1 Epson
Special Media Table" (p15).
ROLL PAPER CUTTING OPERATION
Printer driver
settings
BorderlessThe default printer driver setting is “Borderless”.
Single Cut
Cutting OperationExplanation
A
B
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
A
B
parts of the image may be shown on the top or
bottom of the adjacent pages. If this occurs,
perform “Adjust Cut Position”.
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.
Printer driver
settings
Double Cut
Cutting OperationExplanation
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.
A
B
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.

PatternUse this setting if you are unable to resolve banding issues (horizontal striped lines or
uneven colors) in the standard print area (for cut sheets, the area excluding the 1 to 2
cm strip at the bottom of the paper) even after head cleaning or head alignment.
When “Pattern” is selected;
Press the [OK] button to print an adjustment pattern. Measure the distances between
the “+” symbols in the printed adjustment pattern. Use only the distance between the
center symbols or the average of the distances between the left, center, and right
symbols.

After the adjustment pattern is printing, the length of the pattern will be displayed in
the control panel. Press the [S]/[T] buttons to enter the measured value and press
the [OK] button.
When “Value” is selected;
Choose an adjustment between -0.70 and +0.70%. Selecting too small a value causes
dark bands; adjust the amount upward. Similarly, choosing too large a value causes
white bands; adjust the amount downward.
It is important to choose the appropriate amount of suction for the paper used in order
to maintain the correct distance between the paper and the print head. Choosing too
high a value for thin or soft paper will increase the distance between the paper and the
print head, causing print quality to decline or preventing the paper feeding correctly.
If this happens, lower the paper suction. The suction power is weakened when the
parameter is lowered.
Select “High” or “Extra High” if the paper wrinkles during printing.High
