Default roll paper margins are 0.59 inch (15 mm) top and bottom, and 
0.12 inch (3 mm) right and left. Using the menu system, you can set all the 
margins to 15 mm or 3 mm, or set the top margin to 35 mm. See page 213 
for details.
The borderless printing feature allows edge-to-edge printing on some media.
Ink Cartridges
Note: We recommend 
that you use genuine 
Epson cartridges and do 
not refill them. The use of 
other products may affect 
your print quality and 
could result in printer 
damage.
Yields vary considerably 
based on images printed, 
print settings, paper type, 
frequency of use, and 
temperature. For print 
quality, a small amount of 
ink remains in the 
cartridge after the 
“replace cartridge” 
indicator comes on. The 
printer ships with full 
cartridges and part of the 
ink from this first set of 
cartridges is used for 
priming the printer.
For best printing results, 
use up a cartridge within 
six months of opening the 
package.
Cartridge life2 years from production date if unopened; 
within 6 months after opening package

If you want to print multiple images on roll paper and have the printouts 
rolled up automatically, you can use the optional Auto Take-Up Reel 
(Epson Stylus Pro 9890 only).
To install the Auto Take-Up Reel, follow the instructions in the manual that 
came with it.
You can wind your printed media either forward (with the printed surface 
outside), or backward (with the printed surface inside).
The table below describes the status of the Auto Take-Up Reel as indicated 
by the 
Sensor light.
