Warning:
Caution:
Important:
Warnings must be followed to
avoid serious bodily injury.
Cautions must be followed to
avoid damage to this product or
bodily injury.
Notes contain important
information on the operation of
this product.
Tips contain useful or additional
information on the operation of
this product.
❏ Use up the ink cartridge within a year of installation
for best results.
❏ Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill
them. This could damage the print head.
❏ Do not touch the IC chip on the side of the cart ridge.
This may affect normal operation and printing.
❏ The IC chip on this ink cartridge retains a variety of
cartridge-related information, such as the ink
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.
❏ If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect
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
or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent
the ink from staining items that the cartridge
touches. Do not touch the ink supply port or
surrounding area.

Introduction
Features
The main features of this printer are described below.
Realizing High Productivity
High-speed printing
The speeds of the print head and paper feed have been
increased for faster printing.
The printer is equipped with a high-speed rotary cutter
for quick cutting, significantly increasing productivity.
Paper basket holds consecutive sheets
(SC-T7200 Series/SC-T5200 Series/SC-T3200 Series)
The paper basket accommodates up to 20 sheets of A2/
A1/A0/ARCH D/US D/US E plain paper, promoting
automation for improved productivity.
The optional Stand (24) for the SC-T3200 Series comes
with a paper basket.
U “Using the Paper Basket (SC-T7200 Series/SC-
T5200 Series/SC-T3200 Series)” on page 45
Large-capacity paper basket which can continually
accommodate various mixed paper sizes
(SC-T7200D Series/SC-T5200D Series)
This basket can hold various mixed paper sizes from A1
Landscape size and smaller.
In addition, if you set the basket to the compact position,
you can reduce the protrusion of the paper basket so it
can be used even in narrow spaces.
Checking current operating status even from afar
thanks to an alert lamp
Errors are immediately obvious even at a distance,
thanks to the large, highly visible alert lamp. This helps
prevent any wasted time when printing has stopped due
to running out of ink or paper.
Loading two roll papers and increasing productivity
(SC-T7200D Series/SC-T5200D Series)
You can load roll paper at two locations, Roll 1 (upper
section) and Roll 2 (lower section). This feature
increases productivity in the following manner.
❏ Because you can load different types of roll paper in
Roll 1 and Roll 2, specify the media type on the
printer driver during printing, and switch printing
between Roll 1 and Roll 2, you do not need to reset
the paper every time you change the media type.
U “Switching to Roll 1/Roll 2 by Paper Type” on
page 91
❏ If you load different sizes of roll paper in Roll 1 and
Roll 2 in advance, the printer switches to the roll
paper with the smaller margin during printing
automatically in accordance with the document
size of the print job. This feature makes it easy to
conserve paper. U “Switching to Roll 1/Roll 2 by
Document Size” on page 92
❏ If you load the same types and sizes of roll paper in
Roll 1 and Roll 2 in advance, and the printer predicts
during printing that the roll paper remaining is
shorter than the print length, it switches to the roll
paper that is longer than the print length
automatically and continues printing. This feature
allows continuous unattended operation.
U “Using the Large-Capacity Paper Basket (SC-
T7200D Series/SC-T5200D Series)” on page 49
Improved operability with an easy to see and use
color screen
Designed for intuitive operation, the large, brightly-lit,
color LCD display is easy to understand and easy to use.
The large display offers detailed, easy-to-understand
error messages and illustrated guides to loading paper.

Introduction
Pigmented inks are used for all colors for unsurpassed
water resistance, allowing print results to be safely
carried out-of-doors.
*1
The 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.
Vivid, highly lightfast posters and displays
*2
Our new magenta ink improves the reds so important to
posters, making them even more noticeable.
The printer driver offers a poster mode that simplifies
the printing of vivid posters. Posters with vivid hues can
be printed simply by selecting poster mode.
Thanks to the pigmented inks used for all colors, the
results are highly water-resistant and can be used for
short-term outdoor display. They are also extremely
lightfast and fade-resistant and can be safely displayed
in direct sunlight.
*1 When you are printing for outdoor use, use
lamination processing.
*2 It is not possible to obtain the same results for all
paper.
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.
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 box, 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.
MFP Scanner that can be integrated and installed
with the printer
You can connect the optional MFP Scanner to the top of
the printer when you use the dedicated stand. This
feature reduces the installation space and allows you to
load documents and print copies at one location.
Furthermore, this feature provides a stress-free
workflow because printing starts at high speed after
copying.
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 “Attaching the Roll Paper Adapter” on page 27
Ease of 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.

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 211
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.
21
Page 22
SC-T7200 Series/SC-T5200 Series/SC-T3200 Series/SC-T7200D Series/SC-T5200D 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 tops of the 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 affect printer function or
performance.
❏ Do not dismantle or remodel ink cartridges. You
may not be able to print properly.
❏ Do not drop or knock ink cartridges 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.

Borderless Printing
You can print your data without margins on the paper.
The types of borderless printing you can choose vary as
shown below depending on the media type.
❏ Retain Size
Roll Paper: No margins for all edges, no margins for the
left and right
Cut Sheets: No margins for the left and right only
(Borderless printing is not available with poster board.)
Create the print data larger than the paper size in
the applications to produce borderless output. The
printer driver does not enlarge the image data. Use
setti ngs su ch as Pa ge S etu p in the applications to set
the size of the image data as follows.
When printing borderless for all edges, you can also
configure the cutting operation. U “About Roll Paper
Cutting” on page 98
When performing left and right borderless printing,
margins appear on the top and bottom of the paper.
Top and bottom margin values U “Printable area” on
page 63
Types of Borderless Printing Methods
You can perform borderless printing using the
following two methods.
❏ Auto Expand
The printer driver enlarges the print data to a size
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 Setup in the applications
to set the size of the image data as follows.
- Create print data larger than its actual print size by 3
mm on the left and right (6 mm in total).
- If the application has margin settings, set the
margins to 0 mm.
- Make the image data as large as the paper size.
Select this setting if you want to avoid image
enlargement by the printer driver.
Supported Media Sizes for Borderless Printing
The following media sizes are supported for borderless
printing.
The sizes supported vary with the printer model.
- 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 “The Maintenance
Menu” on page 145
❏ When you print one page
only or print one page
multiple times, the
operation 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.
