EPSON Media Installer Mechanical Parameters User Guide
.Auto Cut
Set by the media type for automatic or manual cutting.
EMX
Downloadable file within Epson Media installer or from a media manufacturer’s
website containing the available print resolutions, media mechanical
parameters plus an ICC profile.
EMY
A printer specific version of an EMX file that can be created by end users.
Roll Tension
Setting for the inductive roller tension system used in the Sure Color® P7570,
P9570, P10000 and
P20000. Increased roll tension, also called back tension, is sometimes
required to prevent wrinkling and proper media feeding.
Top Margin
When not printing Bordereau®, the top margin is set for each media type. The
top margin is also
known as the leading edge. A larger top margin is often required for thicker
fine art medias. Note:
Additional Top Margin is available in the driver under Paper Edge Quality.
Bottom Margin
When not printing Bordereau®, the bottom margin is set for each media type
selected. The bottom
margin is also known as the trailing edge.
Drying Time
Adjustment for each print head pass and/or each print. Increasing dry time per
pass allows ink to settle into the media before the next printhead pass.
Lateral Feed Adjustment
Setting for the sub paper feed roller for left to right uniformity with non-
thick fine art medias.
Paper Size Check
Allows for changing the width after loading the media.
Paper Eject Roller
A star shaped wheel and mechanism used in the paper eject process. Typically
set to Auto, set to Do Not Use if small wheel marks appear on the printed
surface.
Paper Feed Amount Adjustment
The value chosen after printing the paper feed offset numbered patterns on the
printer.
Paper Feed Offset
Value to determine the best adjustment to prevent horizontal banding.
Paper Suction
The amount of vacuum used for media. Some thick fine art media require
increased suction. Thinner
media require less suction.
Paper Thickness
Measured in millimeters (mm). Input as decimal point (example, 0.48)
Platen Gap
The distance from the printhead to the paper. The gap needs to be adjusted
based on the thickness of
the paper. In most cases, there is no loss of detail or sharpness with
selectable platen gaps.
Roll Core Diameter
2” or 3” core sizes used for media.
Skew Reduction
Reduces media skew when loading and printing. In most cases skew reduction
should be set off.
