Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, use recommended Epson ribbons and plain paper of the correct width, perform periodic cleaning of the print head and paper path, and replace the print head when end-of-life is reached. In busy environments, consider wall mounting to free counter space and reduce obstruction of workflow.
