Features
The main features of this printer are described below.
Realizing High Resolution
The newly developed ink technology provides high
definition for photo, fine art, and proofing paper.
New print head design
Our new print heads are equipped with a 2.64 inch
integrated precision core μTFP head with a staggered
array, and we have adopted a resolution of 300 dpi for
optimal printing.
A variety of black and color inks
As well as the three basic ink colors, the SC-P8500D
Series has gray ink and the SC-T7700D Series has red
ink.
Black ink with the following features has also been
installed.
Two types of black ink to suit your
printing purposes
The printer automatically switches between two types
of black ink to suit the paper type being used; Photo
Black which realizes a smooth, professional finish on
glossy paper and Matte Black which increases black
optical density using matte paper.
Notes on Usage and
Storage
Installation space
Make sure that you secure the following space, clear of
any other objects, so that paper ejection and
consumable replacement are not obstructed.
W 1848 mm *1: You need 75 mm of space when
replacing the Maintenance Box.
D 499 mm *2: You need 631 mm of space when
opening or closing the roll2 unit.
*3: You need up to 4,000 mm of
space when feeding cut sheets/
poster board.
H 975 mm *4: You need 195 mm of space when
opening or closing the printer cover.
Notes when using the printer
Note the following points when using this printer to
avoid breakdowns, malfunctions, and print quality
decline.
❏When using the printer, observe the operating
temperature and humidity range described in the
"Specifications Table".
U “Specifications Table” on page 202
Even when the conditions above are met, you may
not be able to print properly if the environmental
conditions are not suitable for the paper. Be sure
to use the printer in an environment where the
paper's requirements are met. For more details,
see the documentation supplied with the paper.
Also, when operating in dry areas, air conditioned
environment, or under direct sunlight, maintain
the appropriate humidity.
SC-P8500D Series/SC-T7700D Series User's Guide
Introduction
18
❏Avoid using the printer in locations with heat
sources or that are exposed to direct draughts
from ventilators or air conditioners. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in the print
head nozzles drying and clogging.
❏The print head may not be capped (i.e., may not
move to the right-hand side) if an error occurs
and the printer is turned off without first
resolving the error. Capping is a function for
automatically covering the print head with a cap
(lid) to prevent the print head from drying out. In
this case, turn on the power and wait a while until
capping is performed automatically.
❏When the power is on, do not remove the power
plug or cut the power at the breaker. The print
head may not be capped properly. In this case,
turn on the power and wait a while until capping
is performed automatically.
❏Even when the printer is not in use, some ink will
be consumed by head cleaning and other
maintenance operations needed to keep the print
head in good condition.
Notes when not using the printer
If you are not using it, note the following points when
storing the printer. If it is not stored correctly, you
may not be able to print properly the next time it is used.
❏If you do not print for a long time, the print head
nozzles may become clogged. We recommend
that you print once a week to prevent the print
head from clogging.
❏The roller may leave an impression on paper that
is left in the printer. This can also cause wavy or
curled paper resulting in paper feeding problems
or the print head could be scratched. Remove any
paper when storing.
❏Store the printer after confirming that the print
head has been capped (the print head is
positioned at the far right). If the print head is left
uncapped for a long time, the print quality may
decline.
Note:
If the print head is not capped, turn the printer on, and
then turn it off.
❏To prevent the accumulation of dust and other
foreign matter in the printer, close all covers
before placing it in storage.
If the printer will be not be used for an extended
period, protect it with an anti-static cloth or other
cover.
The print head nozzles are very small, and they
can become clogged easily if fine dust gets on the
print head, and you may not be able to print
properly.
❏When turned on after an extended period of
disuse, the printer may automatically perform
head cleaning to ensure print quality.
U “Print Head Maintenance” on page 143
Notes when using the control
panel
❏Touch the panel with your finger. It will only
react when you touch it with your finger.
❏It may not react when operated with something
other than a finger, when operated with wet
fingers or gloved hands, or when operated when
there is a protective sheet or sticker on the panel.
❏Do not operate with sharp objects such as
ballpoint pens or mechanical pencils. Doing so
could damage the control panel.
❏If the panel gets dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth. If
the panel is particularly dirty, dampen the cloth
with water containing a small amount of neutral
detergent, firmly wring the cloth dry before using
it to wipe the panel, and then finish by wiping
with a soft, dry cloth. Never use volatile chemicals
such as thinner, benzene, or alcohol. Doing so
could damage the surface of the control panel.
❏Do not use in an environment that is subject to
sudden changes in temperature or humidity.
Condensation may form inside the panel, causing
a decline in performance.
❏Some pixels on the screen may not light up or
may light up constantly. Also, due to the
characteristics of the liquid crystal display,
uneven brightness may occur, but this is not a
malfunction.

Notes on handling ink cartridges
Note the following points when handling ink
cartridges to maintain good print quality.
❏The supplied ink cartridges and Maintenance
Boxes are for use during the initial charging.
Prepare replacement ink cartridges and
Maintenance Boxes in advance.
❏We recommend that ink cartridges be stored at
room temperature out of direct sunlight and used
before the expiry date printed on the packaging.
❏To ensure good results, we recommend that all
the ink in the cartridge be used within a year of
installation.
❏Ink cartridges that have been stored at low
temperatures for an extended period should be
allowed to return to room temperature over a
period of four hours.
❏Do not touch the IC chips on the ink cartridges.
You may not be able to print properly.
❏Install ink cartridges into all slots. You cannot
print if any of the slots are empty.
❏Do not leave the printer without ink cartridges
installed. The ink in the printer will dry out and
the printer will not function as expected. Leave
ink cartridges in all slots even while you do not
use the printer.
❏The ink level and other data are stored in the IC
chip, allowing cartridges to be used after being
removed and replaced.
❏To avoid getting dirt on the ink supply port, store
the removed ink cartridge properly. The ink
supply port has a valve in it so it does not need to
be capped.
❏Removed ink cartridges may have ink around the
ink supply port, so be careful not to get any ink
on the surrounding area when removing the
cartridges.
❏To maintain the quality of the print head, this
printer stops printing before ink cartridges are
completely expended.
❏Although the ink cartridges may contain recycled
materials, this does not affect printer function or
performance.
❏Do not dismantle or remodel ink cartridges. You
may not be able to print properly.
❏Do not drop or otherwise subject an ink cartridge
to a strong impact. Ink may leak from the cartridge.
Notes on handling paper
Note the following points when handling and storing
the paper. If the paper is not in good condition, print
quality may decline.
Check the documentation supplied with each paper.
Notes on Handling
❏Use Epson special media under normal room
conditions (temperature: 15 to 25°C, humidity: 40
to 60%).
❏Do not fold the paper or scratch the surface of the
paper.
❏Avoid touching the printable surface of the paper
with your bare hands. Moisture and oils from
your hands can affect print quality.
❏Handle paper by the edges. We recommend
wearing cotton gloves.
❏Changes in temperature and humidity may cause
paper to become wavy or curled. Check the
following points.
❏Load the paper just before printing.
❏Do not use wavy or curled paper.
For roll paper, cut off the wavy or curled
parts and then load it again.
For cut sheets, use new paper.
❏Do not wet the paper.
❏Do not throw away the paper packaging as you
can use it for storing the paper.
❏Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight,
excessive heat, or humidity.
SC-P8500D Series/SC-T7700D Series User's Guide
Introduction

❏Keep cut sheets in their original package after
opening, and keep them in a flat place.
❏Remove roll paper that is not in use from the
printer. Rewind it correctly and then store it in
the original packaging that came with the roll
paper. If you leave the roll paper in the printer for
a long time, its quality may decline.
Notes on handling printed paper
To maintain long lasting, high quality print results,
note the following points.
❏Do not rub or scratch the printed surface. If they
are rubbed or scratched, the ink may peel off.
❏Do not touch the printed surface, as this may
remove the ink.
❏After printing, make sure the print outs are
completely dry, and do not stack or fold the
paper. Otherwise, the color may change where
they touch (leaves a mark). These marks will
disappear if they are separated immediately and
dried; however, they will remain if not separated.
❏If you put the print outs in an album before they
are completely dry, they may be blurred.
❏Do not use a dryer to dry the print outs.
❏Avoid direct sunlight.
❏Prevent color distortion while displaying or
storing the print outs by following the
instructions in the paper's documentation.
Note:
Typically, print outs and photos fade over time (color
distortion) due to the effects of light and various
constituents in the air. This also applies to Epson
special media. However, with the correct storage
method, the degree of color distortion can be minimized.
❏See the documentation supplied with Epson special
media for detailed information on handling the
paper after printing.
❏The colors of photos, posters, and other printed
materials appear different under different lighting
conditions (light sources
*
). The colors of print outs
from this printer may also appear different under
different light sources.
* Light sources include sunlight, fluorescent light,
incandescent light, and other types.
Saving Power
The printer enters sleep mode or turns off
automatically if no operations are performed for a set
period. You can adjust the time before power
management is applied.
Any increase will affect the product’s energy
efficiency.
Please consider the environment before making any
changes.
Sleep mode
The printer enters sleep mode when there are no
errors, no print jobs being received, and no control
panel or other operations performed. When the
printer enters sleep mode, the control panel's screen
turns off and the internal motors and other parts
switch off to consume less power.
Sleep mode is cleared if a print job is received or a
button on the control panel is pressed.
You can set the time before entering sleep mode from
1 to 120 minutes. At default settings, the printer enters
sleep mode if no operations are performed for 15
minutes. You can change the Sleep Timer in “General
Settings”.
U “General Settings” on page 132
Note:
When the printer enters sleep mode, the control panel's
screen goes blank as if the power has been turned off,
but the power light remains on.

the left and right
Cut Sheets: No margins for the left and right only
(Borderless printing is not available with poster board.)

Top/Bottom Margin Values
U “Printable area” on page 70
Types of Borderless Printing
Methods
You can perform borderless printing using the
following two methods.
❏Auto Expand
The printer driver enlarges the print data to a size
slightly larger than the paper size and prints the
enlarged image. The sections which are beyond
the paper edges are not printed; therefore,
resulting in borderless printing.
Use settings such as Page Setup in the
applications to set the size of the image data as
follows.
- Match the paper size and page setting for the print
data.
- If the application has margin settings, set the
margins to 0 mm.
- Make the image data as large as the paper size.
❏Retain Size
Create the print data larger than the paper size in
the applications to produce borderless output.
The printer driver does not enlarge the image
data. Use settings such as Page Setup in the
applications to set the size of the image data as
follows.
- Create print data larger than its actual print size
by 3 mm on the left and right (6 mm in total).
- If the application has margin settings, set the
margins to 0 mm.
- Make the image data as large as the paper size.
Select this setting if you want to avoid image
enlargement by the printer driver.

Depending on the paper type and size, print quality
may decline or borderless printing may not be available.

About Roll Paper Cutting
When performing borderless printing on roll paper, you can specify whether to perform left and right borderless
printing or all edges borderless printing, and how to cut the paper in the printer driver's Advanced - Roll Paper
Option. The cutting operation for each value is shown in the following chart.
Printer driver
settings Borderless Single Cut Double Cut
Cutting Operation
Explanation
The default printer driver
setting is Borderless.
❏The top area may become
slightly uneven depending
on the image since the
print operation stops
while cutting the top edge
of the roll paper.
❏If the cut position is
misaligned slightly, small
parts of the image may be
shown on the top or
bottom of the adjacent
pages. If this occurs,
perform Adjust Cut
Position.
❏When continuously
printing multiple sheets,
the printer cuts 1 mm
inside on the top edge of
the first page and the
bottom edge of the
subsequent pages to
avoid showing margins.
❏The top area may become
slightly uneven depending
on the image since the
print operation stops
while cutting the top edge
of the roll paper.
❏The printed paper is
approximately 2 mm
shorter than the specified
size since the printer cuts
the paper inside the image
to avoid showing top and
bottom margins.
❏After cutting the bottom
edge of the previous page,
the printer feeds the
paper, and then cuts the
top edge of the following
page. Although this
produces 60 to 127 mm
cut-off pieces, the cut is
more accurate.
❏If there is a margin at the
top, perform Adjust Cut
Position.

Color Management
Printing
About Color Management
Even when using the same image data, the original
image and the displayed image may look different,
and the printed results may look different to the image
you see on the display. This occurs due to the
difference in characteristics when input devices such
as scanners and digital cameras capture colors as
electronic data, and when output devices such as
display screens and printers reproduce colors from the
color data. The color management system is a means
to adjust differences in color conversion
characteristics among input and output devices. A
color management system is included with operating
systems such as Windows and Mac OS, in addition to
image processing applications. Windows includes the
ICM color management system, and Mac OS X
includes ColorSync color management system.
In a color management system, a color definition file
called a "Profile" is used to perform color matching
between devices. (This file is also called an ICC
profile.) The profile of an input device is called an
input profile (or source profile), and the profile of an
output device, such as a printer, is called a printer
profile (or output profile). A profile is prepared for
each media type in this printer's driver.
The color conversion areas by the input device and
the color reproduction area by the output device
differ. As a result, there are color areas that do not
match even when performing color matching using a
profile. In addition to specifying profiles, the color
management system also specifies conversion
conditions for areas where color matching failed as
"intent". The name and type of intent vary depending
on the color management system you are using.
You cannot match the colors on the printed results
and display by color management between the input
device and the printer. To match both colors, you
need to perform color management between the input
device and the display as well.
Color Management Print
Settings
You can perform color management printing using
this printer's printer driver in the following two ways.
Choose the best method according to the application
you are using, the operating system environment, the
aim of the print out, and so on.
Setting color management with applications
This method is for printing from applications that
support color management. All color management
processes are carried out by the application's color
management system. This method is useful when you
want to obtain the same color management print
results using a common application among different
operating system environments.
U “Setting color management with applications” on
page 113
Setting color management with the printer driver
The printer driver uses the operating system's color
management system and carries out all color
management processes. You can configure the color
management settings in the printer driver using the
following two methods.
❏Host ICM (Windows) / ColorSync (Mac OS X)
Set when printing from applications that support
color management. This is effective in producing
similar print results from different applications
under the same operating systems.
U “Color Management Printing by Host ICM
(Windows)” on page 114
U “Color Management Printing by ColorSync
(Mac)” on page 115
❏Driver ICM (Windows only)
This allows you to perform color management
printing from applications that do not support
color management.

Setting profiles
Settings for the input profile, printer profile, and
intent (matching method) vary between three types of
color management printing since their color
management engines are used differently. This is
because color management usage differs between the
engines. Make settings in the printer driver or
application as described in the following table.

Notes on Print Head Cleaning
Ink is consumed during head cleaning.
Clean the print head only if print quality declines; for
example, if the printout is blurry or the color is
incorrect or missing.
When cleaning all nozzles, ink is consumed from all
colors.
Even if you are using only black inks for black and
white printing, color inks are also consumed.
Prepare a new maintenance box if there is not
enough empty space in the box.
If you repeat head cleaning several times in a short
period, the ink in the maintenance box may become
full soon as ink does not evaporate quickly from the
maintenance box.

Ruled Line Alignment
If lines are misaligned or print results are grainy,
perform Print Head Alignment.
The print head fires ink when moving to the left and
to the right while printing. Since there is a short
distance (gap) between the paper surface and the print
head, a print misalignment may occur due to the
paper thickness, changes in temperature or humidity,
and internal inertia while the print head moves.

Replacing Consumables
Replacing Ink Cartridges
If one of the installed ink supply units is expended,
printing cannot be performed.
If an ink cartridge remaining amount falls below the
minimum amount, you can continue printing after
replacing the ink cartridge.
If the remaining ink amount drops yet printing is
continued, then replacement of an ink cartridge
during printing may be required. If you replace it
while printing, colors may look different depending
on how the ink dries. When this is not permissible, we
recommend first replacing the ink cartridge with a
new one before printing. The removed ink cartridge
can be installed again and used until the remaining
amount falls below the minimum amount.

o
Are you using a genuine Epson ink cartridge?
This printer is developed for use with Epson ink
cartridges. If you use non-Epson ink cartridges,
printouts may be faint, or the color of the printed
image may be changed because the remaining ink
level is not correctly detected. Be sure to use the
correct ink cartridge.
o
Are you using an old ink cartridge?
The print quality declines when an old ink cartridge
is used. Replace the old ink cartridge with a new
one. We recommend using all the ink in the
cartridge before the expiry date printed on the
package (within 6 months of installation in the
printer).
o

Enable color management.
U “Color Management Printing” on page 112
o
Have you compared the printing result with
the image on the display monitor?
Since monitors and printers produce colors
differently, printed colors will not always match
on-screen colors perfectly.
o
Did you open the printer cover while
printing?
If the printer cover is opened while printing, the
print head stops suddenly causing unevenness in
the color. Do not open the printer cover while
printing.

printed by different printer models are not exactly
the same.
You can achieve similar colors with the same color
adjustment method or the same gamma setting by
using the printer driver.

o
In Quality Options from the printer driver,
set Paper Edge Quality to Add Top Margin
or Optimize Media Edge Print Quality.
Add Top Margin prints everything in dual head
mode, so it prints at the same print speed as normal,
but the leading edge margin is larger than normal.
Since Optimize Media Edge Print Quality prints
everything in single head mode, the print speed is
slower than normal.
The print is not positioned properly
on the media.
o
Have you specified the print area?
Check the print area in the settings of the
application and the printer.
o
Is the correct option selected for Page Size?

printer may print outside the bounds of the paper
when Off is selected for Paper Size Check in the
Printer Settings menu. Change the setting to ON.
U “Paper Setting” on page 125
o
Are the settings for Top Margin too short?
If the values set for Top Margin in the Paper menu

non-genuine ink. The use of non-genuine ink may cause damage that is not covered by Epson’s warranties, and
under certain circumstances, may cause erratic printer behavior.
Information about non-genuine ink levels may not be displayed, and use of non-genuine ink is recorded for

Before Printing on Commercially Available Paper
Note:
❏Be sure to check the paper characteristics (such as if the paper is glossy, the material, and the thickness) in the
manual provided with the paper or contact the dealer of the paper.
❏Test the print quality with this printer before purchasing a large amount of paper.
When using paper such as baryta, matte fine art paper, matte canvas, satin canvas, or non-Epson media
(commercially available paper), make the paper configuration according to the characteristics of the paper
(Custom paper) before printing. Printing without making configuring may cause wrinkles, rubbing, uneven
colors, and so on.
Make sure you set the following four items.
Select Reference
Paper
The optimum settings for using different types of Epson special media have already been registered to
this printer.
Check the following, and then select the Epson special media type or general paper settings that are
closest to the paper you are using.
General paper settings
General paper settings have not been optimized for any specific paper type. You can then optimize
the settings according to the paper provided by the user.
❏Photo Paper: Baryta
❏Fine Art Paper: Fine Art Matte
❏Canvas: satin canvas, matte canvas
❏Plain paper: Plain paper
❏Glossy paper: Photo Paper
❏Thick paper that is not glossy: Matte Paper
❏Thin, soft paper that is not glossy; Plain Paper
❏Canvas-like paper: Canvas
❏Cotton paper with an uneven surface: Fine Art Paper
❏Special media such as film, cloth, poster board, and tracing paper: Others
Paper Thickness Set the thickness of the paper. If you do not know the paper thickness, check the manual supplied
with the paper or the paper supplier.
This allows you to reduce the grainy feeling and scuff marks in print outs, as well as differences in the
print position and color.
Roll core size Set the paper core size for the roll paper being loaded.
SC-P8500D Series/SC-T7700D Series User's Guide
Appendix

Paper Feed Offset Optimizes the paper feed when printing. By adjusting the gap between the data size and the print
size, you can reduce the chance of banding (horizontal banding) or uneven colors.
Example of entering settings
When printing at a data size of 100 mm and a print size of 101 mm, the offset is 1.0%. Therefore, you
would enter a value of -1.0%.
c
Important:
If you change even one item set in the Paper menu, you need to perform Paper Feed Offset again.
