    When you select ON, if the size of the cut sheet paper loaded in the printer 
    does not match the size of data, the printer stops printing and WRONG PAPER 
    SIZE appears on the printer’s control panel. When OFF is selected, the printer 
    continues to print even if the size of the cut sheet paper does not match the 
    data, and the printer may print beyond the paper.
    AUTO NZL CK
    When you select ON, the printer performs a nozzle check before printing, for 
    each print job.

    are using is less than 210 mm.
    ❏This setting is available only when you select ON as the AUTO CLEANING setting.
    AUTO CLEANING
    When you select ON and perform a nozzle check from the printer driver or the 
    control panel, the printer not only checks for clogged nozzles, but also 
    performs head cleaning automatically.
    Note:
    Do not select ON if you are using non-Epson media, or if the width of paper you are 
    using is less than 210 mm.
    QUIET CUT
    When you select ON, the printer cuts the printout slowly to decrease the

    You can adjust the distance between the print head and paper. For most 
    papers, leave this setting set to STANDARD. If you find that printed images are

    printing on thick paper.
    Note:
    The Platen Gap setting will return to STANDARD after you turn the printer off and on.

    not Epson media, select this setting.
    Note:

    before the roller touches the media; otherwise, the ink 
    will soil the roller surface, which stamps on the prints.

    media, select this setting. When roll paper is selected 
    for the printer, this parameter is selected and no feed 
    roller is used. If you select this parameter while using cut
