2.Notes on slip paper

•The slip paper must be flat, without curls or wrinkles, especially at the top edges. Otherwise, the paper may rub against the ribbon and become dirty.

•There must be no glue on the bottom edge of slip paper. Choose slip paper carefully when the glue is on the right or top edge, since paper feeding and insertion are affected by gluing conditions (e.g., glue quality, method, and length) and glue location (refer to the figure on the next page). Be especially careful when slip paper is wide and has the glue on the left edge, since skew may occur.

Paper feed	Glued area

•Since the slip BOF sensor uses a photo sensor, do not use paper that has holes at the sensor position, or is translucent.

•Since the slip TOF sensor uses a reflective photo sensor and it detects from the back of slip paper, do not use paper that has holes or dark portions with low reflection (less than 40% reflection) at the sensor position.

•Since the slip paper ejection sensor uses a reflective photo sensor and it detects from the surface of the paper roll, do not use paper that has holes or dark portions with low reflection (less than 40% reflection) at the sensor position.

•Use thinner paper (N30 or equivalent) between the top and bottom sheets of multi-ply paper. If thick paper is used, the copy capability is lowered.

The print head consists of 8 print solenoids (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H) arranged in a horizontal line. The print head moves from the left (from the standby position) to the right, printing at 30 positions as each print solenoid is energized, so that one dot line is formed. The total number of dots per dot line is 240 (30 positions × 8 solenoids).

1.5.2.4 Notes on Using the Endorsement Print Mechanism

The endorsement print mechanism (abbreviated as E/P) enables printing of endorsements as part of a sequence that is automatically processed: MICR reading, printing an endorsement on the back side of a personal check, and printing on the surface of it. Once the end of the paper exceeds the E/P print head position, reverse paper feeding to the front side is not possible.

When the endorsement printing is executed after a MICR reading, the printer feeds the paper forward automatically after receiving a command to print the endorsement; then the printer starts printing up to approximately 7.0 mm (0.28 in.) from the end of the check paper by using reverse paper feeding.

Since the E/P printing format is assumed to print an endorsement on a U.S. personal check, the print begins on the back side of the paper. (As viewed from the front of the printer, the endorsement printing characters are upside down.)

The printing sequence for slip paper is different, depending on whether an endorsement print mechanism is installed. That is, when the E/P is installed, once the printing exceeds the E/P printable area and the slip paper is fed forward, reverse paper feeding must be prohibited. Consider this when developing application programs.

The E/P printing must be not performed on copy paper. Otherwise, a paper jam may occur or the E/P may be broken. Because E/P printing feeds the paper in a reverse paper feed direction, the paper may be wrinkled.

In some case paper feeding may not be accurate when E/P printing is performed on check paper. This may depend on the width of the check paper. Therefore, it is recommended for the user to check in advance whether the check paper prints correctly or not.

•Check paper used for test is EPSON standard check paper.

•Checks must be flat, without curls, folds, or wrinkles.

To print endorsements in the specified area (within 38.1 mm {1.5”} from the top), set the print position for the last line so that it is printed at least 3 mm {0.118”} above the bottom of the printable area (Especially when the printer is used near the display device, the user is required to check the recognition rate of the MICR).

General Information 1-13

Notes:

1.Do not install the printer near any magnetic fields, because this may cause MICR reading errors. (Be sure to check the MICR recognition rate when the printer is used near a display device.)

2.MICR characters may not be recognized when impact or vibration is applied to the printer.

Endorsement printing

1.5.3.4 Notes on using the MICR reader (only when the printer is used with MICR)

The personal checks must be flat, without curls, folds, or wrinkles (especially at the edges). Otherwise, the check may rub against the ribbon and become ink-stained.

Do not insert checks that have clips or staples. These may cause paper jams, MICR reading errors, and damage to the MICR head.

Let go of the check immediately as soon as the printer starts feeding it. Otherwise, the paper is not fed straight, causing paper jams and MICR reading errors.
