❏Do not insert objects through the slots. Take care
not to spill liquid on this product.
❏This product’s power cord is for use with this

❏Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches
or automatic timers.
❏Keep the entire computer system away from
potential sources of electromagnetic interference,
such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless
telephones.
❏Use only the type of power source indicated on the
product’s label.
❏Use only the power cord that comes with this
product. Use of another cord may result in fire or
electric shock.
❏Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord.
❏If you use an extension cord with this product,
make sure the total ampere rating of the devices
plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the
cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the total
ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall
outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere
rating.
❏Do not attempt to service this product yourself.
❏Unplug this product and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
The power cord or plug is damaged; liquid has
entered the product; the product has been dropped
or the cabinet damaged; the product does not
operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in
performance.
❏If you plan to use the printer in Germany, observe
the following:
To provide adequate short-circuit protection and
over-current protection for this printer, the
building installation must be protected by a 10 or 16
amp circuit breaker.
❏If damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or
consult a qualified electrician. If there are fuses in
the plug, make sure you replace them with fuses of

❏Always turn the product off using the Power button
on the control panel. When this button is pressed,
the Power light flashes briefly then goes off. Do not
unplug the power cord or turn off the product until
the Power light stops flashing.
When handling the ink
cartridges
❏Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and
do not drink.
❏If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and
water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately
with water.
❏Before installing the new ink cartridge in the
printer, shake it back and forth horizontally in five
centimeter movements about 15 times within five
seconds.
❏Use the ink cartridge before the date printed on its
package.
❏Use up the ink cartridge within a year of installation
for best results.
❏Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill
them. This could damage the print head.
❏Do not touch the IC chip on the side of the cartridge.
This may affect normal operation and printing.
❏The IC chip on this ink cartridge retains a variety of
cartridge-related information, such as the ink
cartridge status, so that the cartridge may be
removed and reinserted freely. However, each time
the cartridge is inserted, some ink is consumed
because the printer automatically performs a
reliability check.
❏If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect
the ink supply area from dirt and dust, and store it in
the same environment as this product. Note that
there is a valve in the ink supply port, making covers
or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent
the ink from staining items that the cartridge
touches. Do not touch the ink supply port or
surrounding area.

Features
The main features of this printer are described below.
Realizing High Productivity
High-speed printing
The speeds of the print head and paper feed have been
increased for faster printing.
The printer is equipped with a high-speed rotary cutter
for quick cutting, significantly increasing productivity.
Paper basket holds consecutive sheets
(SC-T7200 Series/SC-T5200 Series/SC-T3200 Series)
The paper basket accommodates up to 20 sheets of A2/
A1/A0/ARCH D/US D/US E plain paper, promoting
automation for improved productivity.
The optional Stand (24) for the SC-T3200 Series comes
with a paper basket.
U“Using the Paper Basket (SC-T7200 Series/SC-
T5200 Series/SC-T3200 Series)” on page 45
Large-capacity paper basket which can continually
accommodate various mixed paper sizes
(SC-T7200D Series/SC-T5200D Series)
This basket can hold various mixed paper sizes from A1
Landscape size and smaller.
In addition, if you set the basket to the compact position,
you can reduce the protrusion of the paper basket so it
can be used even in narrow spaces.
U“Using the Large-Capacity Paper Basket (SC-
T7200D Series/SC-T5200D Series)” on page 49
Improved operability with an easy to see and use
color screen
Designed for intuitive operation, the large, brightly-lit,
color LCD display is easy to understand and easy to use.
The large display offers detailed, easy-to-understand
error messages and illustrated guides to loading paper.
U“Screen View” on page 15
Checking current operating status even from afar
thanks to an alert lamp
Errors are immediately obvious even at a distance,
thanks to the large, highly visible alert lamp. This helps
prevent any wasted time when printing has stopped due
to running out of ink or paper.
Loading two roll papers and increasing productivity
(SC-T7200D Series/SC-T5200D Series)
You can load roll paper at two locations, Roll 1 (upper
section) and Roll 2 (lower section). This feature
increases productivity in the following manner.
❏Because you can load different types of roll paper in
Roll 1 and Roll 2, specify the media type on the
printer driver during printing, and switch printing
between Roll 1 and Roll 2, you do not need to reset
the paper every time you change the media type.
U“Switching to Roll 1/Roll 2 by Paper Type” on
page 91
❏If you load different sizes of roll paper in Roll 1 and
Roll 2 in advance, the printer switches to the roll
paper with the smaller margin during printing
automatically in accordance with the document
size of the print job. This feature makes it easy to
conserve paper. U“Switching to Roll 1/Roll 2 by
Document Size” on page 92
❏If you load the same types and sizes of roll paper in
Roll 1 and Roll 2 in advance, and the printer predicts
during printing that the roll paper remaining is
shorter than the print length, it switches to the roll
paper that is longer than the print length
automatically and continues printing. This feature
allows continuous unattended operation.
U“Switching to the Roll with the Most Paper
Remaining (Roll 1/Roll 2) before Printing if the
Paper Runs Out” on page 94
Realizing High Resolution
Thanks to newly developed Epson UltraChrome XD
Ink technology, the printer can be used for high-quality
posters and CAD drawings.
CAD drawings: clear, legible, and with unsurpassed
water resistance
Newly-developed, high-density Matte Black ink enables
the printer to produce extremely detailed drawings.

Introduction

Pigmented inks are used for all colors for unsurpassed
water resistance, allowing print results to be safely
carried out-of-doors.
*1
The printer driver offers a line drawing mode, making it
easier to optimize printing for line drawing and,
through unsurpassed reproduction of line drawing and
fine lines in the form of connected lines, diagonals, and
curves, ensuring the best possible results when the
printer is used for drawings.
Vivid, highly lightfast posters and displays
*2
Our new magenta ink improves the reds so important to
posters, making them even more noticeable.
The printer driver offers a poster mode that simplifies
the printing of vivid posters. Posters with vivid hues can
be printed simply by selecting poster mode.
Thanks to the pigmented inks used for all colors, the
results are highly water-resistant and can be used for
short-term outdoor display. They are also extremely
lightfast and fade-resistant and can be safely displayed
in direct sunlight.
*1 When you are printing for outdoor use, use
lamination processing.
*2 It is not possible to obtain the same results for all
paper.
Insistence on Ease-of-Use
Spindle-free roll paper adapter makes loading roll
paper a snap
The lack of a spindle makes it possible to load and
remove roll paper even in environments where space is
at a premium.
To load roll paper, simply place it on the roll rest and
attach roll paper adapters to both ends. The roll rest is
low, making it easy even for short workers to load paper.
U“Attaching the Roll Paper Adapter” on page 27
Ease of Maintenance
Roll paper and all replacements, including ink
cartridges, Maintenance Boxes, and cutters, are
installed from the front, allowing the printer to be
placed against a wall. The printer does not have to be
moved to allow rear access.
Choose from three sizes of cartridge according to the
task
Choose from 110, 350, and 700 ml cartridges according
to the frequency with which the printer is used. Use
cost-effective 700 ml cartridges for high-volume poster
printing or select individual 110 or 350 ml cartridges for
monochrome printing.
New printer driver offers greatly improved
ease-of-use
Print settings can be optimized simply by choosing the
desired use or target. This spares you the trouble of
adjusting print settings individually.
On startup, the printer driver automatically checks the
status of the paper loaded in the printer and displays it in
the Media Settings dialog box, preventing errors caused
by failure to check paper status before printing.
The printer driver displays printer settings graphically,
reducing errors caused by inappropriate choices of
settings.
MFP Scanner that can be integrated and installed
with the printer
You can connect the optional MFP Scanner to the top of
the printer when you use the dedicated stand. This
feature reduces the installation space and allows you to
load documents and print copies at one location.
Furthermore, this feature provides a stress-free
workflow because printing starts at high speed after
copying.
