Printing Position Problems - Epson LQ-680 User Manual

Printing position problems

Printing starts too high or low on the page.
Cause
The paper size setting in your
application software or
printer driver does not match
the size of the paper you are
using.
The printer's page length
settings for the tractor do not
match the size of the
continuous paper you are
using.
The top margin or top-of-
form position setting is
incorrect.
The printer you want to use is
not selected in your software.
You moved the paper using
the knob while the printer
was on.
c
Caution:
Never use the knob to adjust the top-of-form position; doing so may damage
the printer.
What to do
Check the paper size setting in your
application or printer driver.
Check the page length settings for the
tractor using the printer's default-
setting mode or the EPSON Remote!
utility. See "About Your Printer's
Default Settings" on page 4-3 or "Using
the EPSON Remote! Utility" on page
3-19.
Check the top margin or top-of-form
position setting in your application
software. See the printable area
specifications in Appendix C.
Adjust the top-of-form position in
micro adjust mode. Be aware, however,
that settings made in Windows
applications override settings made in
micro adjust mode. See "Adjusting the
loading position" on page 2-28.
Choose the correct printer from the
Windows desktop or in your
application before printing.
Adjust the top-of-form position using
the micro adjust feature. See
"Adjusting the loading position" on
page 2-28.
