Adjusting For Different Top And Bottom Margins; Adjusting The Loading (Top-Of-Form) And Tear-Off Positions With Micro Adjust; Differences In The Default Setting Mode - Epson LX-300+ Supplementary Manual

Adjusting for Different Top and Bottom Margins

The LX-300+ allows for smaller top and bottom margins—
4.2 mm (.17 inch) for both—increasing the maximum printable
area on the page. You will not notice any difference in printing
unless you have specified margins in your software applications
that are less than the minimum allowed by the LX-300 (5.3 mm
[.2 inch] for the top and 9 mm [.35 inch] for the bottom). In this
case you may need to adjust your top and bottom margin
settings through your software or by adjusting the top-of-form
position. See your LX-300+ User's Guide.
Adjusting the Loading (Top-of-Form) and Tear-off
Positions with Micro Adjust
To adjust the top-of-form or tear-off position, make sure paper is
loaded in the printer. Then hold down the Pause button for 3
seconds to enter Micro Adjust mode. Make sure the Pause light
is flashing. Then press the Load/Eject U or LF/FF D button to
adjust the position. When you are done, press Pause again to
exit Micro Adjust mode.

Differences in the Default Setting Mode

Like the LX-300, the LX-300+ lets you change printer settings
through the Default Setting mode. The LX-300+ includes more
settings and offers different options for some of the settings. A
few settings that were available on the LX-300 are no longer
necessary on the LX-300+. The following table compares the
settings for both printers. Default settings are in bold.
Note: You can also change the default settings from the DOS prompt
using EPSON Remote!, which you may find easier to use. See page 10
for instructions.
