Printing Problems

ProblemSolution

The position of the printout is not what you expected.

The printed page length differs from the actual length of the paper.

The right or left margin setting does not match the actual width of the paper.

Line spacing is incorrect.

Your software may be overriding your page length settings. Check that the page length setting in your application program is set correctly for the selected page length. You can also change the page length with SelecType if you are using LQ or FX emulation mode. See Chapter 2 to change SelecType settings.

The margin settings of your application program may be incorrect. Change the application program margin settings.

Your software may be set up incorrectly. Check the printer setting in the software and the printer mode setting of your printer.

Note: Experienced printer users can use the data dump mode, as described later in this chapter, to check the data being sent from the computer to your printer. In data dump mode, data is printed in hexadecimal notation and in ASCII characters.
