Loading a roll: YouTube guide. Ours doesn't beep when the paper is inserted — it just changes the display text.
Printing a PDF or image from a browser
On a CAD computer, open the file in the browser.
Set the Paper size in the browser's print dialog first (needed, even though you can set it later).
Print using system dialog → choose SC-T7200.
Properties / More printer settings → media: Get from printer.
Quality: Quality for most things.
Tick Print Preview.
OK → Print. Check the preview window (may be behind) and print.
For accurate colours, use Epson Print Layout, or choose photo mode and high quality.
Several small pages side by side
Printing small images one at a time wastes the roll width. Combine them into one PDF (e.g. in Acrobat Reader), then in the print dialog choose Page Size & Handling → Multiple with e.g. a 4 × 1 layout.
Example settings in Epson Print Layout
Good to know
The printer turns itself off automatically.
It prefers to print at least once a week (to keep the heads clear).
