EPSON LQ-670 Using Micro Adjust The micro-adjust feature allows you to move paper forward or backward in 1/180-inch increments. You can use this feature to adjust the loading, printing, and tear-off positions. Adjusting the loading position The loading position is the position of the paper after the printer loads it automatically. If your printing appears too high or low on the page, you can change the loading position with the micro-adjust feature as follows: Note: Top margin settings made in some application software override adjustments you make to the loading position with the micro adjust feature. If necessary, adjust the loading position in your software. 1. Make sure the printer is turned on. If necessary, lift up the printer cover so you can see the paper position. 2. Load either continuous or single-sheet paper. (Press the Load/Eject button to load continuous paper or a singlesheet from the optional cut-sheet feeder.) 3. Hold down the Pause button for about three seconds. The Pause light starts flashing and the printer enters the microadjust mode. 4. Press the LF/FF [D] button to move the loading position down on the page, or press the Load/Eject [U] button to move the loading position up on the page. Note: The printer has a minimum and a maximum loading position. If you try to adjust the loading position beyond these limits, the printer beeps and stops moving the paper. When the paper reaches the factory-set loading position, the printer beeps and paper feeding pauses briefly. Use the factory setting as a reference point when adjusting the loading position. If you want to eliminate the top margin and print at the very top of the page, adjust the loading position so that the top of the paper lines up with the raised line on the ribbon mask, as shown below. raised line 5. After you set the loading position, press the Pause button to turn off micro-adjust mode. For both single-sheet and continuous paper, your loading position setting remains in effect until you change it, even if you turn off the printer. Adjusting the printing position The printing position is the position on the page where the print head actually prints during a print job. You can change the current vertical printing position temporarily by using the micro-adjust feature as described in the steps below. Note: Your printing position setting is in effect only until the next time you load paper or turn off the printer. 1. Make sure that the printer is not printing. If it is, press the Pause button to stop printing. 2. Hold down the Pause button for about three seconds. The Pause light begins flashing and the printer enters the microadjust mode. 18 - EPSON LQ-670 3/97
