Epson 1170 - Manual (Page 108)

Printing
l
Regular gaps occur in the printout.
One-inch skip-over-perforation may be set. Set DIP switch
1-8 off.
l
Skip-over-perforation is set, but the perforation does not fall
in the center of the skip.
Adjust the top-of-form position as described in Chapter 2.
Make sure the DIP-switch settings match your required
paper length. See page 3-8.
If your application program is setting the top and bottom
margins, set DIP switch 1-8 off.
l
Printing starts too low on the page, or the bottom part of
one page is printed at the top of the next page.
Be sure to choose the correct printer when you choose a
printer from your application program’s menu. See
Chapter 1.
Use your application software to reduce or eliminate the top
margin and to reduce the page length.
If possible, specify single-sheet paper with your application
software.
If the printer still does not print correctly, try the self test
described in Chapter 1. If the self test works properly, the printer
is all right and the problem probably lies in the computer, the
software, or the cable. If the self test does not work, contact your
dealer or a qualified service person.
