Adjusting The Loading Position; Using Micro-Adjustment - Epson FX-1050 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, you need to change the loading position
using the micro-adjustment feature described in the next section.
Until the loading position is reset, the printer remembers the position and
uses it as a reference point for feeding the paper.
WARNING:
always use the micro-adjustment feature. Never use the
platen knob for paper feeding except in case of a paper
feeding problem.
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.

Using Micro-Adjustment

The micro-adjustment feature moves the paper 2/216th of an inch at a
time to make fine adjustments to the loading or short tear-off positions.
Micro-adjustment only works immediately after you load paper or use
the short tear-off function. You can use micro-adjustment only when the
printer is on line and the ON LINE indicator light is flashing.
After you adjust the tear-off position or after you adjust the loading
position for continuous paper, the printer remembers that position even
after it is turned off, reset, or initialized. However, when you adjust the
loading position for single-sheet paper, the printer does not remember the
new position after the power is tuned off.
