Title: Why is 7900 cutting roll paper when that feature is turned off?
Post by: PeterAit on July 04, 2014, 04:22:34 pm

I have the 7900 set for roll paper, no cutting (printer panel shows a roll of paper with no scissors). Yet it cuts after each print. Any ideas?

I've had the same problem with the 9800. The cutoff option was selected in the driver, and that apparently over-rode the front panel setting.

Almost everywhere the driver has an option also set on the panel, the driver controls.  The one situation I'm aware of that violates this rule of thumb is the Epson 9900's platen gap.  Newer (year+ ago) firmware gives the panel a platen gap setting of "widest" that still isn't in the Windows v6.73 (USA) driver.  It's max platen gap setting is "wider".  If the panel's platen gap setting is set to "widest", what is selected in the driver for platen gap doesn't matter.
