You need to use the appropriate tension
according to the roll paper. See the following
section for information on the spindle tension. If
you use the wrong tension, the print may be
marred or the printer may be damaged.
See "Paper Information" on page 110.
Note:
We recommend that you switch the tension to high
tension when using roll paper other than Epson's
special paper, such as cloth or thin roll paper of less
than 100 g/m2. In this case, paper is fed in smaller
increments than usual. Increase the Paper Feed
Adjustment value in the Custom Paper menu.
If you print with normal tension, wrinkles may appear
in the paper when printing continuously. For details,
refer to the handling instructions of the roll paper.
If wrinkles appears while using plain roll paper, set the
tension to high tension. You can reduce wrinkles on
the paper when using high tension.
