in your application or as the

Solving Miscellaneous Printout
Problems
If your printout results are not what you expected, try these
solutions.
Solution
Select your printer in your application or select it as the default
Windows printer. See your Windows documentation or online
help for instructions.
Select your printer in the Chooser as described on the CD-ROM
folder and in Appendix B.
In Windows, delete the stalled print jobs in Spool Manager (or the
spooler in Windows NT). On a Macintosh, select the stalled print
jobs in Monitor3 (see Chapter 4) or open the Extensions folder,
EPSON folder, and Spool folder, and delete any queued files.
Turn off your printer and computer. Then make sure the cable is
connected securely and meets the printer's specifications.
Change to a standard VGA driver (see your computer or video
card documentation for instructions). If your printout is correct,
your video driver is interfering with the printer driver. Contact
your computer or video card manufacturer for an updated driver.
Solution
Turn off the Flip Horizontal or mirror setting in your application
software or the printer software. See Chapter 3 for instructions.
