Do not use a passbook that has metallic parts such as staplers or metal clips.
Do not use a passbook with sticky parts such as stamps or seals.
Do not use a passbook that has any pages smaller than the cover page.
Do not print on the front or back cover of a passbook. Printing can be done only when the passbook is opened.
When you use paper that is shorter than 110.0 mm, set the paper eject direction to front. The factory set default is front. Please access http://www.epson.com for information.
Do not load paper that is curled, folded, or crumpled.
Do not punch holes in the area from 25.0 to 40.0 mm from the left edge of paper. See the illustration below.
A
25.0 mm
B
15.0 mm
C
Do not punch holes in this area.
When using the printer driver, the minimum achievable top and bottom margins are 1.0 mm (0.04 inch) and 9.0 mm (0.36 inch) respectively.
