I've never seen any affects one way or the other with "edge smoothing."  I
think it is designed to smooth the edges of low resolution images.  I've
heard some say that it also incorporates some sharpening, which I'd really
rather take care of myself in Photoshop.  So, I probably ought to turn it
off. 

It's one of the settings that, if I see no affect, I tend to leave in their
default positions, assuming that Epson has found that for its average user
it is worthwhile.
