o
Is the paper wrinkled or creased?
Do not use old paper or paper with creases in it.
Always use new paper.
o
Is the paper damp?
Do not use paper that is damp. Also, Epson special
media should be left in the bag until you intend to use
it. If it is left out for a long time, the paper curls up and
gets damp so that it does not feed properly.
o
Is the paper wavy or curled?
If changes in temperature and humidity cause paper
to become wavy or curled, the printer may not be able
to recognize the paper size correctly.
Check the following points.
❏
Load the paper just before printing.
❏
Do not use wavy or curled paper.
For roll paper, cut off the wavy or curled parts and
then load it again.
For cut sheets, use new paper.

o
Are the edges of the roll paper uneven?
Loading roll paper with the right and left edges
uneven may cause paper feeding problems or paper
meandering may occur during printing. Rewind the
paper to make the edges even before using roll paper
or use roll paper with no problem.
