Printing Problems

ProblemSolution

The position of the printout is not what you expect.

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.

Even after changing the page length or margin positions, you find that the printed position is not correct.

The SelecType form length setting may not be correct or your software may be overriding this setting. Check the page length setting in your application program and make sure that it is set correctly for the selected page length. You can also change the page length with SelecType options. The procedure for setting the page length varies depending on the printer mode that you are using. See the SUB CONFIG option in Chapter 3.

The margin settings of your software program may not be correct. Change the settings of your application program. If this does not correct the problem, you can change the right or left margin with SelecType. The procedure for changing margin settings varies depending on the selected operating mode. See Chapter 3 or Appendix C.

You may need to set the absolute printing position with the T-OFFSET or L-OFFSET option in the SYSTEM CONFIG menu of SelecType Level 1. This feature allows you to adjust the position of the printable area on the page. See Chapter 3 for more information on using this feature.
