OConnect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets. Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as copiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.

OAvoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers.

OKeep the entire computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.

OUse only the type of power source indicated on the product’s label.

OUse only the power cord that comes with this product. Use of another cord may result in fire or electric shock.

ODo not use a damaged or frayed power cord.

OIf you use an extension cord with this product, make sure the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.

ODo not attempt to service this product yourself.

OUnplug this product and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the product; the product has been dropped or the cabinet damaged; the product does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance.

OIf you plan to use the printer in Germany, observe the following:

To provide adequate short-circuit protection and over-current protection for this printer, the building installation must be protected by a 10 or 16 amp circuit breaker.

OIf damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or consult a qualified electrician. If there are fuses in the plug, make sure you replace them with fuses of the correct size and rating.

Epson SureColor T-Series User Guide

Introduction

OAlways turn the product off using the Power button on the control panel. When this button is pressed, the Power light flashes briefly then goes off. Do not unplug the power cord or turn off the product until the Power light stops flashing.

When handling the ink cartridges

OKeep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink.

OIf ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.

OBefore installing the new ink cartridge in the printer, shake it back and forth horizontally in five centimeter movements about 15 times within five seconds.

OUse the ink cartridge before the date printed on its package.

OUse up the ink cartridge within a year of installation for best results.

ODo not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them. This could damage the print head.

ODo not touch the IC chip on the side of the cartridge. This may affect normal operation and printing.

OThe 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.

OIf 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.

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

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.

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.

OBecause 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

OIf 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

OWhen 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.*1

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*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.

Easy to 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, 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.

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.

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

OWhen 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.

20

Epson SureColor T-Series User Guide

Introduction

ODo 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.

OThe 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.

OWhen 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.

OEven 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.

OIf 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.

OThe 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.

OStore 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.

OTo 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.

OWhen 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.

OThe 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.

OWe recommend that ink cartridges be stored at room temperature out of direct sunlight and used before the expiry date printed on the packaging.

OTo ensure good results, use all the ink in the cartridge within a year of installation.

OInk 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.

ODo not touch the IC chips on the tops of the ink cartridges. You may not be able to print properly.

OInstall all ink cartridges into each slot. You cannot print if any of the slots are empty.

ODo 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.

21

Epson SureColor T-Series User Guide

Introduction

OThe ink level and other data are stored in the IC chip, allowing cartridges to be used after being removed and replaced.

OTo 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.

ORemoved 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.

OTo maintain the quality of the print head, this printer stops printing before ink cartridges are completely expended.

OAlthough the ink cartridges may contain recycled materials, this does not affect printer function or performance.

ODo not dismantle or remodel ink cartridges. You may not be able to print properly.

ODo 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

OUse Epson special media under normal room conditions (temperature: 59 to 77°F (15 to 25°C), humidity: 40 to 60%).

ODo not fold the paper or scratch the surface of the paper.

OAvoid touching the printable surface of the paper with your bare hands. Moisture and oils from your hands can affect print quality.

OHandle paper by the edges. We recommend wearing cotton gloves.

OChanges 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.

ODo not wet the paper.

ODo not throw away the paper packaging as you can use it for storing the paper.

OAvoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight, excessive heat, or humidity.

OKeep cut sheets in their original package after opening, and keep them in a flat place.

ORemove 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.

ODo not rub or scratch the printed surface. If they are rubbed or scratched, the ink may peel off.

ODo not touch the printed surface; failure to observe this precaution may cause ink to rub off.

OMake 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.

OIf you put the print outs in an album before they are completely dry, they may be blurred.

ODo not use a dryer to dry the print outs.

OAvoid direct sunlight.

OPrevent color distortion while displaying or storing the print outs by following the instructions in the paper's documentation.
