Epson MTX 1345 Fanfold Displacement Fanfold DIS, 1READY ELQ Fanfold DIS, How to Use this Function

Printer Operation

This parameter covers a range of -15/60to +240/60 of an inch (0.42 mm), where "-" is up the page and "+" is further down the page (see also the table in Chapter 3.4 Configuring the Printer for VERT.POS.ADJ.).

Note: The set up of VERT.POS.ADJ. will become effective at the next page of the form. Therefore, it is recommended to perform VERT.POS.ADJ. set up as long as the paper is in the park position and before starting the print job.

-Fanfold Displacement (FANFOLD DIS) (91)

A continuous form can manually be displaced by this function when it is either correctly loaded at the park position or already fed and partly printed. The Fanfold Displacement mode can only be called up in the status READY or BUSY.

Note: The key has no effect when in the READY or BUSY mode.

As soon as the Fanfold Displacement mode is entered by pressing , the printer stops printing and changes into the LOCAL mode. The display

shows the message FANFOLD DIS with the value 0. By pressing (91)

or (92) a vertical displacement is possible.

Note: This parameter influences the line counter of the current print job and cannot be saved. A form feed (FF) sent by the application to the printer cancels all these settings.

How to Use this Function

Preprinted paper (e.g. bill of lading) has to be adjusted exactly. Following errors are possible:

-the printed value is too high - the fanfold paper has to be moved a little bit higher.

-the printed value is too low - the fanfold paper has to be moved a little bit lower. No backward movement is possible for a form in park position or with the print head on the first line. The displacement will become effective on the next page. A negative displacement is possible if this function is used during a current print job (not at the beginning of the page).

After pressing again, paper is fed in case it was in the park position. In all other cases the paper remains at its actual position. Each further

pressing of	increases the line counter by increments of 1/ inch. Each
			60
further pressing of			decreases the line counter by decrements of 1/
			60
inch. Holding of		or	causes the first 20 increments in single steps

(1/60 inch), thereafter in multiplier of ten which results in a continuous

increment or decrement of the offset counter by 1/ inch. If the reached
	6
value is too high go backwards by pressing	.

The offset to the current position is shown on the display. Dependent on the status of the internal print buffer, the offset will be immediately executed after having resumed the printing or after having printed the remaining data in the internal print buffer. The offset value is not stored in the configuration set up and influences only the actual line counter. The maximum displacement range is the distance between the actual position and the page border plus one full page, but no more than 999 steps (nearly 1 inch). A backward movement is possible from the actual position to the top of that page.

If the setting is procedure is completed change with (93) to the READY or BUSY mode.
