How to use

Connect the printer to your network via Ethernet or to a host computer using USB or parallel cable, then install the appropriate Epson drivers for your operating system. Load paper or continuous forms according to the feed type: set the tractor feed for continuous paper or insert envelopes/front feed as required. Configure page length, margins and form settings through the driver or front-panel menus, and run test prints to verify alignment and print quality before large runs.
Usage recommendations
For reliable long-term operation, use genuine Epson ribbons and media suited for impact printing, perform periodic cleaning of the print head and tractor paths, and schedule preventive maintenance if used in continuous high-volume environments. When integrating into a network, ensure firmware and drivers are up to date and configure proper paper handling settings to minimise jams.
