Printing on Roll Paper

Using roll paper, you can print banners or a series of photos or panoramics.
Note:
Using EPSON Easy Photo Print, which is included on the CD-ROM, is the easiest and quickest way to create roll paper printouts with this printer.

When you are printing a borderless image on roll paper and Banner Mode is selected in the Roll Paper Options window (Windows) or Banner is selected as the Roll Paper Option setting in the Page Setup dialog box (Mac OS X), you need to use your image-editing application to make the image 5 mm wider than the roll paper.
If your application has margin settings, make sure they are set to zero before printing.
