The printout is spaced incorrectly

•If all the text is printed on the same line, no line feed command is being sent at the end of each line of text. Turn DIP switch 2-4 on.

•If the printer is inserting extra blank lines between lines of text, extra line feed commands are being sent. Turn DIP switch 2-4 off.

•If the printer inserts extra blank lines even when DIP switch 2-4 is turned off, you need to disable the AUTO FEED XT signal coming from your computer. See your Epson dealer for assistance.

The printout is faint or uneven

•The ribbon may not be properly installed. See the section on installing the ribbon in Chapter 1.

•The ribbon may be worn out. See the section on replacing the ribbon in Chapter 5.

•The print head may be worn out. This is especially likely if parts of printed characters are missing. Contact your dealer to have the head replaced. Never attempt to replace the head yourself because other parts of the printer should be checked at the same time.

The printout is not what you expect

•The wrong character table (italics or Epson Extended Graphics) may be selected. See the section on selecting character tables with DIP switches in Chapter 3. You can also select the character table with a software command. (See the Command Summary in Chapter 8.)
