Changing The Printer Settings - Epson LX-300 User Manual

Changing the Printer Settings

Your printer has internal settings that control simple functions
such as the page length and character set. These settings take effect
each time you turn on the printer, so they are also called default
settings.
Because the factory printer settings are designed to meet the needs
of most users, you probably will not need to change them. See
"Printer Settings" on page A-9.
Note:
Because software settings always override the printer's default settings,
use your software program to control the printer, if possible. See your
software documentation for more information.
If you cannot use your software program to change the printer's
settings, you can use the Printer Setting mode. Here's how:
Caution:
c
Use paper at least 210 mm (8 1/4 inches) wide for single sheets
or 240 mm (9 1/2 inches) for continuous paper; otherwise the
print head prints directly on the platen.
Also make sure you have enough sheets of paper because the
printer prints several pages of help text.
1. Turn off the printer; if you use continuous paper, make sure
the paper is loaded correctly.
