Epson DFX-8500 Printer User Manual


 
Pitch
Selects the characters per inch for printing.
Press the button until the light appears
next to the desired pitch. (Your software
setting overrides this setting.)
Copy
Lets you print the document darker. This
button is available in SuperDraft and Draft
mode only and is disabled if you use the
status monitor utility and select a paper
number from 1 to 8.
TOF
(Top of Form)
Lets you enter and exit the top-of-form
mode to adjust the top-of-form position.
This button is available when the top
cover is open.
If your printing begins too high or low on
the page, you can reset the top-of-form
position by entering top-of-form mode
and using micro feed to adjust the
position. The printer remembers this new
top-of-form position even after it is turned
off, reset, or initialized. Also, the printer
remembers separate top-of-form positions
for the front and rear tractors.
See “Adjusting the top-of-form position”
in Chapter 3.
Tear Off
Feeds the paper to the printer’s tear-off
edge and puts the printer in tear-off mode.
If the perforation on your paper does not
align exactly with the printer’s tear-off
edge, use the Micro Feed buttons to
adjust the tear-off position. See “Adjusting
the tear-off position” in Chapter 3.
