Jesus I’ve worked with point of sale printers for a long time and this person deserves a high paying position at Epson

My home Epson printer supports paper as long as 1117.6 mm (44.0 in) out of the box so it can print a shorter one in color. Maybe some models have firmware hacks to disable paper feed between pages, enabling continuous printing.
