User's Manual

resolution

A measure of the amount of detail that can be represented. Resolution

of printed images is measured in the number of dots per inch (dpi).

self test

A method for checking the operation of the printer. When you run the

self test, the printer prints the characters stored in its ROM (Read Only

Memory).

tear off button

A control panel button that feeds the perforation of continuous paper

to the tear-off position and then feeds the paper back to the top-of-form

position.

tear-off position

The position of your continuous paper when you finish printing if auto

tear-off mode is on or if you press the Tear Off/Bin button. Using the

micro adjust feature, you can adjust the position so that the paper’s

perforation meets the printer’s tear-off edge.

top-of-form position

The position on the paper that the printer recognizes as the first printable

line. This is the default top margin position.

unidirectional printing

Printing in which the print head prints in one direction only.

Unidirectional printing is useful for printing graphics because it allows

precise vertical alignment. You can select unidirectional printing using the

printer’s default-setting mode or the EPSON Remote! utility. See also

bidirectional printing.
