Adjusting The Loading Position - Epson LQ-1050X User Manual

Adjusting the Loading Position

The loading position is the position of the paper when it has been
automatically loaded by the printer.
This position is important because it determines where the printing
begins on the page. If the printing is too high or too low on the page,
change the loading position using the micro-adjustment feature
described in the next section.
You can set separate loading positions for single sheets, continuous
paper, and sheets loaded, by the cut sheet feeder.
CAUTION: Never use the platen knob to feed paper except
in case of a paper jam or other paper feeding problem. (If
you need to use the platen knob, make sure the power is
off.) If you need to adjust the loading position, always use
the micro-adjustment feature.
Until the loading position is reset, the printer remembers this
position even if it is turned off, and uses it as a reference point for
feeding paper.
The micro-adjustment feature moves the paper in 1/180-inch
increments to make fine adjustments to the loading position. You
can use this feature to adjust the loading position immediately after
loading paper only.
Once you have used micro-adjustment to change the loading
position of continuous paper, the printer remembers that position
even after it is turned off. However, when you use micro-adjustment
to change the loading position of single-sheet paper, the printer does
not remember this position after the power is turned off. When the
power is turned back on,, the loading position returns to its factory
setting.
