Operation Manual

Checking current operating status even from afar
thanks to an alert lamp
Errors are immediately obvious even at a distance,
thanks to the large, highly visible alert lamp. This helps
prevent any wasted time when printing has stopped due
to running out of ink or paper.
Loading two roll papers and increasing productivity
(SC-T7200D Series/SC-T5200D Series)
You can load roll paper at two locations, Roll 1 (upper
section) and Roll 2 (lower section). This feature
increases productivity in the following manner.
❏ Because you can load different types of roll paper in
Roll 1 and Roll 2, specify the media type on the
printer driver during printing, and switch printing
between Roll 1 and Roll 2, you do not need to reset
the paper every time you change the media type.
U “Switching to Roll 1/Roll 2 by Paper Type” on
page 97
❏ If you load different sizes of roll paper in Roll 1 and
Roll 2 in advance, the printer switches to the roll
paper with the smaller margin during printing
automatically in accordance with the document
size of the print job. This feature makes it easy to
conserve paper. U “Switching to Roll 1/Roll 2 by
Document Size” on page 98
❏ If you load the same types and sizes of roll paper in
Roll 1 and Roll 2 in advance, and the printer predicts
during printing that the roll paper remaining is
shorter than the print length, it switches to the roll
paper that is longer than the print length
automatically and continues printing. This feature
allows continuous unattended operation.

Remaining (Roll 1/Roll 2) before Printing if the
Paper Runs Out” on page 100
Realizing High Resolution
Thanks to newly developed Epson UltraChrome XD
Ink technology, the printer can be used for high-quality
posters and CAD drawings.
CAD drawings: clear, legible, and with unsurpassed
water resistance
Newly-developed, high-density Matte Black ink enables
the printer to produce extremely detailed drawings.
Pigmented inks are used for all colors for unsurpassed
water resistance, allowing print results to be safely
carried out-of-doors.
*1
The printer driver offers a line drawing mode, making it
easier to optimize printing for line drawing and,
through unsurpassed reproduction of line drawing and
fine lines in the form of connected lines, diagonals, and
curves, ensuring the best possible results when the
printer is used for drawings.
Vivid, highly lightfast posters and displays
*2
Our new magenta ink improves the reds so important to
posters, making them even more noticeable.
The printer driver offers a poster mode that simplifies
the printing of vivid posters. Posters with vivid hues can
be printed simply by selecting poster mode.
Thanks to the pigmented inks used for all colors, the
results are highly water-resistant and can be used for
short-term outdoor display. They are also extremely
lightfast and fade-resistant and can be safely displayed
in direct sunlight.
*1 When you are printing for outdoor use, use
lamination processing.
*2 It is not possible to obtain the same results for all
paper.
Insistence on Ease-of-Use
Spindle-free roll paper adapter makes loading roll
paper a snap
The lack of a spindle makes it possible to load and
remove roll paper even in environments where space is
at a premium.
To load roll paper, simply place it on the roll rest and
attach roll paper adapters to both ends. The roll rest is
low, making it easy even for short workers to load paper.
U “Attaching the Roll Paper Adapter” on page 29
Ease of Maintenance
Roll paper and all replacements, including ink
cartridges, Maintenance Boxes, and cutters, are
installed from the front, allowing the printer to be
placed against a wall. The printer does not have to be
moved to allow rear access.
