Problem Solving 4
Symptom: | Print job started with italics, changed to bold, but italics |
| still output. |
Problem: | Font selection is by priority, and italic is “higher” than |
| bold. |
Solution: | Turn italics off before turning bold on. |
Symptom: | Printer ignores control codes sent prior to printing a |
| document. |
Problem: | The application software automatically sends a reset |
| command before printing. |
Solution: | Embed the control codes in the text to be printed. |
Symptom: | “Garbage” prints out. |
Problem: | Incorrect driver is installed. |
Solution: | Install an appropriate driver. |
Symptom: | Printer’s output is below rated speed. |
Problem: | Delays are caused by software formatting routines, |
| graphics downloads, and other application specific |
| factors. |
Solution: | For maximum speed, output plain text. |
Symptom: | Size of top margin increases with each page printed. |
Problem: | “Creeping text.” Number of lines per page in software is |
| not equal to number of lines per page of printer. |
Solution: | Many software packages assume 66 lines per page, but |
| your printer’s default is 60. Adjust software accordingly, |
| or set LINES/ Pg in Menu 1 to equal lines per page in |
| software. |
Problem: In Epson FX Emulation, when command for 66 lines is sent to the printer, printer prints only 64 lines on a page, looses the 65 and 66 line and prints 67th line on the second page.
Solution: Set line spacing to 35/216 with a software command ESC “3” Pn (Pn=number of 216ths). Then send the command to set the page length to 66 lines per page, ESC C Pn (Pn = number of lines per page).
Symptom: Strange symbols appear during normal printing.
Problem: Wrong symbol set.
Solution: Make sure the symbol set selected corresponds to symbol set resident, in font card, or in soft font.
