APPENDIX A: MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
A.1 Printing and Paper Feeding
1) Setting paper feed length
Since this printer employs a shuttle dot printing mechanism, printing always keeps pace with paper
feed operations. This means that paper should be fed longer than the set value in order to
implement an actual print job when the set paper feed length is short.
For example, if line feed length is set to 6 dots (6/60 inches), a line of 8 dots (8/60 inches) is fed.
In page mode, however, this is not the case because all the print data sets is buffered in memory
and printed at one time. Therefore, it is possible for print data to be shifted and overlapped with
other data by increment of one dot .
Character Type Required Paper Feed Length
Standard 8 dots (8/60 inches)
Double-height 16 dots (16/60 inches)
Double-width 8 dots (8/60 inches)
Quadruple 16 dots (16/60 inches)
Bit image 8 dots (8/60 inches)
2) Printing after reverse paper feed
After paper is fed in the reverse direction, the paper feed pitch may not be correct for subsequent
printing. Be sure to feed the paper one line in the reverse direction and then feed it forward one
line, before resuming printing.
A.2 Notes on Manual Operations
1) The ribbon cassette should be mounted with the printer released. Follow the directions on the
caution label.
2) Paper may become ink stained if it remains in the printer for a long period.
3) Printing without paper loaded and/or without a ribbon cassette mounted must not be performed.
A.3 How to Insert Paper
Insert slip paper from the front side or sideways and set properly with the printer released.
A.4 Ribbon Cassette
Use only the exclusive ribbon cassette EPSON ERC-27 (purple only) to maintain good print quality and
to assure durability. The ribbon should never be re-inked.
