My printout has incorrect margins. What should I do?
-
The solutions depends on if you're printing, scanning or copying. See the appropriate solutions below for your task:
Printing- Make sure the paper settings are correct for your paper size in the Windows or Macintosh printer software.
- Choose the correct margins for your paper size in your printing program.
- Use the Print Preview option in your Windows or Macintosh printer software to check your margins before you print.
- Make sure your paper is positioned next to the right side of the feeder. See Loading paper.
- If you're using a Macintosh, make sure you choose the same printer in the Page Setup window and the Print window.
- If you're printing from a web browser, the pages may not print correctly due to the web page design. Try one of the following:
- Use EPSON Web-To-Page software if you're using Windows XP or 2000 with Internet Explorer 5.5 through version 6. This software automatically adjusts web pages to fit your printed page. (Do not use it with Internet Explorer 7 because this functionality is built-in.)
- Check to see if there is a Printer Friendly Version (or similarly named) icon or link on the web page that you can click on.
- Experiment with page setup and paper size, then select Print Preview from the File menu in your application to view the changes.
- Make sure you've aligned the document correctly. See Placing Originals for Copying or Scanning.
- Make sure you've aligned the document correctly. See Placing Originals for Copying or Scanning.
- Make sure your paper is positioned next to the right side of the feeder. See Loading paper.
- The Epson Stylus CX can enlarge your document to fit the paper you've loaded; make sure you select this option only when you want it.
To use the option, press and hold the B&W Text button (for black-and-white documents) or Color Text button (for color documents) for 3 seconds. - If you are copying, make sure you pressed the correct Copy button on the Epson Stylus CX control panel. The B&W Text button (for black-and-white documents) or Color Text button (for color documents) copy only onto letter- or A4-size paper. The Color Photo button copies only onto 4 x 6-inch Epson photo paper (various types available). See Copy a Document or Photo for details.
