Re: 7500 Problems

John,

the quickest answer is to take a look at the service manual for a more 
complete understanding of alignment. Epson doesn't endorse access to 
manuals for mere mortals, but thankfully someone has made them available:

My understanding is that you use (cheap) EAM in rolls, align per instructions, 
then create a setting in memory for your particular paper if it exceeds the limits 
of auto-detectable thickness. 

But it's been a year since I played with alignment on my 7000, so you are best 
to read the manual.
