Epson FX-286 Prints Page Shifted to the Right in Excel 3.0 (82342)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q82342 SYMPTOMS
When you print from Microsoft Excel 3.0 using the Epson FX-286 Printer
under Microsoft Windows version 3.1, and you use the center
vertically/horizontally options, the page is shifted to the
right.
CAUSE
This is a problem with the printer hardware, not Windows 3.1. The
Epson printer manual states:
Position the pin-feed holder midway between the two stops on the
tractor bar....
(When running the self test) align the left edge of the paper with
the first black mark on the paper bail.
WORKAROUND
To work around the problem, move the paper in the printer over to the
right so that the very edge of the paper lines up with the |1| mark on
the paper bail.
CAUTION: This workaround causes the document to print over the perforated
edge of the paper when you print from the MS-DOS command line.
MORE INFORMATION
The printer driver in Windows 3.1 does not print the same (left to
right) as in Windows 3.0 or in MS-DOS. When printing from MS-DOS, the
driver places text right against, but not over, the perforation.
