for the media you’re using.

configuration setting (for
non-EPSON media).

paper thickness. See page 1-22 for instructions.
Your paper doesn’t meet the
required specifications or
contains too much moisture.
Change your paper.
You’re printing on the wrong side
of the paper or other media.
If you’re using roll paper, make sure it’s correctly
attached to the spindle. See page 1-4 for
instructions. If you’re using a cut sheet, make sure
the printable side is face up.

narrow.
