Tips & tricks
Media
- If the format of media selected in the Loading field is different from the one selected in the Source media field, for instance, if one is a sheet and the other one is a roll, then there will be an error message.
- If you have selected Board as Source media, and you are printing a landscape, then a warning message will recommend you to reload the media in portrait. This message can be disabled.
- EPSON Precision Dot Blueprint is only available with Reference media set up as Blueprint.
Borderless printing
- For borderless prints, margins in Page Setup should be set up correctly. You should also set the Cut media option to Cut before and after print for full borderless prints.
