Printing
Problem Solution
The printout contains
regular gaps.
Skip over
perforation is
set, but the perforation
does not fall in the
center of
the skip.
Vertical
printed lines
are not aligned.
One inch skip over perforation
may
be set.
Turn off DIP switch 3-3. If your application
program allows you to use control codes,
cancel skip over perforation using ESC 0.
See page
3-18.
The page length may be set incorrectly. Set
DIP switch 3-2 to match your paper length.
See page 3-17. If your application program
allows you to use control codes, you can
set
the page length using ESC C or ESC C 0.
See pages 9-13 and 9-14.
The top of form position too high
or too low. Adjust the top of form position
so that the perforation is centered within
the skip area. See page 3-33.
Your application program may be setting
the top and bottom margins. If so, turn off
DIP switch 3-3 to cancel skip over
perforation. See page 3-18.
The printer may be set for bidirectional
printing. This can cause a slight misalignment
of graphics characters. If you need to print
precisely aligned vertical lines, select
unidirectional print mode by sending ESC or
ESC < to the printer. See page 9-10.
