Getting The Results You Expect - Epson LX-300 User Manual

Getting the results you expect

When you print on single sheets, you may notice that the printer
prints the first page of your file correctly, but then prints too low
on the next page, or that it prints the last few lines from one page
onto the next. This happens because single sheet handling differs
slightly from continuous paper handling.
It's easy to adjust the printer so that you get the right results.
Simply change some of the settings in your software program as
described below.
1. When you install a software program, it normally asks you
what printer you are using. Make sure you choose the correct
printer. See Chapter 1 for instructions.
2. Many programs have an option that you can use to set the
maximum lines-per-page. If you are using standard
8 1/2 × 11-inch paper, set the lines-per-page to 61.
Note:
To find the right lines-per-page setting for paper that is not
8 1/2 × 11, create a test document using your software program. Set
your top and bottom margins to 0 and then create a file of numbered
lines from 1 to 66. When you print your file, notice the last number
printed on the first page. This is your maximum lines-per-page
setting.
3. If your program doesn't have a lines-per-page setting, try
decreasing the top margin or increasing the bottom margin, or
both, until you get the results you want.
4. You can also try adjusting the form length setting. For a
standard 8 1/2 × 11-inch page, try setting the form length to
10 inches.
5. Some programs let you indicate whether you are using single
sheets or continuous paper. Make sure you choose single
sheets.
