Epson EPL-8000 User Manual page 171

Text is printed with an extra blank line even after you set AUTO
LF to OFF.
Your interface cable may be sending the extra line feed
l
command. Disable the AUTO FEED signal of your interface.
See the interface specifications in Appendix A.
Every other line of text is printed backwards.
This may happen if you use a word processing program
l
originally set up for use with a daisy-wheel printer. The
program is sending every other line backwards to compensate
for the reverse movement of the daisy-wheel print mechanism.
See your software manual for information on how to adjust the
program.
Some or all of the output is garbled or printed as asterisks.
The interface cable may not be plugged in completely.
Make sure that both ends of the cable are plugged in securely.
The interface may not be configured correctly. If you are using
a serial interface, make sure that both the computer and printer
are set to use the same number of data bits per word and that
they both use the same parity, baud rate, and number of stop
bits.
You can also use the data dump mode to check the data being
sent from the computer as described later in this chapter.
If the printer still does not print correctly, contact your dealer.
