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 that has no problems.

o
Are you using the printer at normal room
temperature?
Epson special media should be used at normal room
temperature (temperature: 15 to 25°C, humidity: 40
to 60%). For information about paper from other
manufacturers, see the documentation supplied
with the paper.
o
Is paper jammed in the printer?
Open the front cover of the printer and check that
there are no paper jams or foreign objects in the
printer. If paper is jammed, see "Roll paper jam" or
"Cut sheets jam" below, and clear the jammed paper.
