Epson FX-286 Adjusting the paper-thicknesslever, Figure 1-18. Top-of-pageposition

Figure 1-18. Top-of-page position

To set the top-of-page position, use the LINE FEED function to advance the paper until a perforation between sheets lines up evenly with the top of the ribbon guide, as shown in Figure 1-18.

Now turn the printer OFF, then back ON. This reinitializes the printer and records this top-of-page setting. The printer remembers this setting and uses it when any program tells it to move to the top of the next page, or when you use the FORM FEED button to advance the paper.

If you are using a word processor or other applications program and the printing is too high or too low on the page, adjust your top-of- page setting accordingly.

Adjusting the paper-thickness lever

The FX-286is equipped with a paper-thickness lever that can be adjusted to accommodate varying thicknesses of paper.

The lever is located in front of the paper release lever on the left side of the printer as shown in Figure 1-19.

When you receive your FX-286,the lever is set for standard paper thickness (about 1/500th of an inch). For thicker paper or multiple copies, pull it toward the front of the printer (“+“). To return the lever to the standard position, see Figure 1-19.
