EPSON LQ-670

Using Micro Adjust

The micro-adjust feature allows you to move paper forward or
backward in 1/180-inch increments. You can use this feature
to adjust the loading, printing, and tear-off positions.

Adjusting the loading position

The loading position is the position of the paper after the
printer loads it automatically. If your printing appears too
high or low on the page, you can change the loading position
with the micro-adjust feature as follows:
Note:
Top margin settings made in some application software
override adjustments you make to the loading position
with the micro adjust feature. If necessary, adjust the
loading position in your software.
1. Make sure the printer is turned on. If necessary, lift up the
printer cover so you can see the paper position.
2. Load either continuous or single-sheet paper. (Press the
Load/Eject button to load continuous paper or a single-
sheet from the optional cut-sheet feeder.)
3. Hold down the Pause button for about three seconds. The
Pause light starts flashing and the printer enters the micro-
adjust mode.

Adjusting the printing position

The printing position is the position on the page where the
print head actually prints during a print job. You can change
the current vertical printing position temporarily by using the
micro-adjust feature as described in the steps below.
1. Make sure that the printer is not printing. If it is, press the
Pause button to stop printing.
2. Hold down the Pause button for about three seconds. The
Pause light begins flashing and the printer enters the micro-
adjust mode.

Note:
The printer has a minimum and a maximum loading
position. If you try to adjust the loading position beyond
these limits, the printer beeps and stops moving the
paper.
When the paper reaches the factory-set loading position,
the printer beeps and paper feeding pauses briefly. Use
the factory setting as a reference point when adjusting
the loading position.
If you want to eliminate the top margin and print at the
very top of the page, adjust the loading position so that
the top of the paper lines up with the raised line on the
ribbon mask, as shown below.
Note:
Your printing position setting is in effect only until the
next time you load paper or turn off the printer.
