Wrong top-of-form position
Printing starts too high or low on the page.
 Cause 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 printer’s page length 
settings for the front or rear 
tractor do not match the size 
of the continuous paper you 
are using.
Check the page length settings for the 
front or rear tractor using the printer’s 
default-setting mode or the EPSON 
Remote! utility. See “About Your 
Printer’s Default Settings” in 
Chapter 5, or “Using the EPSON 
Remote! Utility” in Chapter 4.
The top margin or top-of-
form position setting is 
incorrect.
Check the margin or top-of-form 
position setting in your application 
software. See the printable area 
specifications in Appendix C.
Adjust the top-of-form position in 
micro adjust mode. However, settings 
made in Windows applications 
override settings made in micro adjust 
mode. See “Adjusting the Top-of-Form 
Position” in Chapter 2.
The printer you want to use is 
not selected in your software.
Choose the correct printer from the 
Windows desktop or in your 
application before printing.
You moved the paper using 
the knob while the printer 
was on.
Adjust the top-of-form position using 
the micro adjust feature. See “Adjusting 
the Top-of-Form Position” in Chapter 2.

Caution:
Never use the knob to adjust the top-of-form position; this may damage 
the printer or cause it to lose the top-of-form position.
