Setup Steps

  1. 1

    Power off and open cover

    Turn off the printer using the power switch. Press the cover open lever to release and lift the paper cover.

  2. 2

    Remove existing paper

    If there's existing paper in the printer, remove it completely. Check for any paper fragments that might cause jams.

  3. 3

    Position the linerless roll

    Insert the linerless roll with the print side facing up. The paper should unroll from the top, towards the front of the printer.

    Tip: Epson recommends using rolls with the Epson-certified linerless coating for best results.

  4. 4

    Thread through the sensor

    Guide the paper over the platen roller and through the paper guides. Ensure the paper is aligned with the left paper guide.

  5. 5

    Close the cover

    Press down on the paper cover until it clicks. The printer should automatically feed and cut the paper.

  6. 6

    Configure via Epson utility

    Use Epson's TMNet WebConfig or Windows configuration utility to set: paper width, liner-free mode enabled, and print density.

  7. 7

    Calibrate paper sensors

    Run automatic calibration from the configuration utility. This ensures accurate paper detection and cut positioning.

  8. 8

    Print test label

    Send a test print job to verify setup. Check for proper alignment, clear printing, and clean cuts.

Troubleshooting

Error light flashing

Solution: Check paper path for obstructions. Ensure cover is fully closed. Power cycle the printer if error persists.

Labels cutting in wrong position

Solution: Recalibrate the paper sensor. Verify the correct paper type is selected in the configuration utility.

Poor adhesion on labels

Solution: Check that the linerless roll hasn't been exposed to extreme temperatures or humidity. Try a fresh roll from sealed packaging.
