Printing position problems

What to do
The paper size setting in your application software
or printer driver does not match the size of the
paper you are using.
Check the paper size setting in your application or printer driver.
The top margin or top-of-form position setting is
incorrect.
Check and adjust the margin or top-of-form position settings in
your application software. For information about recommended
printable area, refer to the “Paper/Media” on page 111.
You can also adjust the top-of-form position using the Micro
Adjust function. However, settings made in Windows applications
override settings made in the Micro Adjust mode. See “Adjusting
the top-of-form position” on page 19 for more information.
The printer driver settings you want to use are not
selected in your software.
Choose the correct printer driver setting from the Windows
desktop or in your application before printing.
