software manual.

Software Tips

Avoiding smudged pages

When

you print full resolution graphics (360 x 360 dpi), the

result may have a slightly smudged appearance. If this occurs,
choose 360 x 180 resolution using your application software.
You can also try adjusting the paper-thickness lever as
described on page 2-15.

Printing landscape (horizontal) pages

Dot matrix printers do not have built-in fonts for printing in

landscape. You may use Microsoft Windows or programs such

as Allways or Sideways to do this.

Keeping page breaks in their proper place

There is an area at the top and bottom edges of each sheet that

the printer must use to load and feed the paper. You cannot

print on these portions of the page.

If the margins and page breaks in your document do not take

into account these unprintable areas, you may find that the
printing position is too low on the page or that part of one page

is printed at the top of the next page. Your software may be set

to print on continuous paper or to print too many lines on a

page. To correct this problem, try the following:

Select single sheets or sheet feeder bin 1 in your software.
