O 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.

Features

The main features of this printer are described below.

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 (T7270/T5270/T3270)

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.

U“Using the Paper Basket (T7270/T5270/T3270)” on

page 45

Loading two roll papers and increasing productivity (T7270D/T5270D)

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.

O 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 87

O 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 89

Large-capacity paper basket which can continually accommodate various mixed paper sizes (T7270D/T5270D)

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.

U“Using the Large-Capacity Paper Basket

(T7270D/T5270D)” 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.

U“Screen View” on page 15

Checking current operating status from a distance with 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.

O When you load the same types and sizes of roll

paper in Roll 1 and Roll 2 in advance, and the printer determines 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“Switching to Roll 1/Roll 2 by Roll Length” on

page 90

High Resolution

Thanks to newly developed Epson UltraChrome XD Ink technology, the printer can be used for high-quality posters and CAD drawings.

CAD drawings: clear, legible, and with unsurpassed water resistance

Newly-developed, high-density Matte Black ink enables the printer to produce extremely detailed drawings.

Pigmented inks are used for all colors for unsurpassed water resistance, allowing print results to be safely carried out-of-doors.

Epson SureColor T-Series User Guide

Introduction

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

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.

Easy to Use

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.

Multifunction Scanner that can be integrated and installed with the printer

You can connect the optional Multifunction 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.

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, Ink Maintenance Tanks, 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.

Furthermore, this feature provides a stress-free workflow because printing starts at high speed after copying.

Notes when using the printer

Note the following points when using this printer to avoid breakdowns, malfunctions, and print quality decline.

O When using the printer, observe the operating

temperature and humidity range described in the "Specifications Table".

U“Specifications Table” on page 201

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.

Epson SureColor T-Series User Guide

Introduction

O 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.

O 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.

O 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.

O 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.

O 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.

O 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.

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.

O 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.

O 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.

O 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.

O The supplied ink cartridges and Ink Maintenance

Tank are for use during the initial charging. The supplied ink cartridges and Ink Maintenance Tank will be require replacement relatively quickly.

O We recommend that ink cartridges be stored at

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

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

cartridge within a year of installation.

O 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.

O Do not touch the IC chips on the tops of the ink

cartridges. You may not be able to print properly.

O Install all ink cartridges into each slot. You cannot

print if any of the slots are empty.

O 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.

Epson SureColor T-Series User Guide

Introduction

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

chip, allowing cartridges to be used after being removed and replaced.

O 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.

O 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.

O To maintain the quality of the print head, this

printer stops printing before ink cartridges are completely expended.

O Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled

materials, this does not affect printer function or performance.

O Do not dismantle or remodel ink cartridges. You

may not be able to print properly.

O 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.

O Do not wet the paper.

O Do not throw away the paper packaging as you can

use it for storing the paper.

O Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight,

excessive heat, or humidity.

O Keep cut sheets in their original package after

opening, and keep them in a flat place.

O 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

O 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.

Notes on handling

O Use Epson special media under normal room

conditions (temperature: 59 to 77°F (15 to 25°C), humidity: 40 to 60%).

O Do not fold the paper or scratch the surface of the

paper.

O Avoid touching the printable surface of the paper

with your bare hands. Moisture and oils from your hands can affect print quality.

To maintain long lasting, high quality print results, note the following points.

O Do not rub or scratch the printed surface. If they

are rubbed or scratched, the ink may peel off.

O Do not touch the printed surface; failure to observe

this precaution may cause ink to rub off.

O Make sure the print outs are completely dry before

folding or stacking; otherwise, the color may change where they touch (leaving a mark). These marks will disappear if they are separated immediately and dried; however, they will remain if not separated.

O If you put the print outs in an album before they

are completely dry, they may be blurred.

O Do not use a dryer to dry the print outs.

O Avoid direct sunlight.

O Prevent color distortion while displaying or

storing the print outs by following the instructions in the paper's documentation.

O Handle paper by the edges. We recommend

wearing cotton gloves.

Epson SureColor T-Series User Guide

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.

O See the documentation supplied with Epson special

media for detailed information on handling the paper after printing.

O 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.

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.

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.)

When printing borderless for all edges, you can also configure the cutting operation.

U“About Roll Paper Cutting” on page 94

When performing left and right borderless printing, margins appear on the top and bottom of the paper.

- 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.

O Retain Size

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 settings such as Page Setup in the applications to set the size of the image data as follows.

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.

O 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.

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.

O 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.

O 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 138

O 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.

O 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.

O 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.

O 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.

Multi-Page/Poster Printing

You can print multiple pages on a single sheet or a single page across multiple sheets.

The following three multi-page/poster printing methods are available.

• Folded Double-Side (Windows only)

Two consecutive pages are printed on a single sheet. The second page is flipped 180° and printed adjacent to the first page, allowing the paper to be folded to make a double-sided document.

•Poster (Windows only)

A single page can be printed across multiple sheets. The sheets can then be joined together to form large posters (up to 16 times the original size). If Borderless Poster Print is selected, the sheets can be joined without trimming the edges, but because the portions outside the edges of the paper will be lost, the joins may be imperfect.

Folded Double-Side (Windows only)

•N-up

Two or four consecutive pages can be printed on a single sheet.

In the printer driver's Layout tab, select Page

Layout. Next, select Folded Double-Side and click the Settings button.
