ImageWriter LQ: When Top Margin Increases with Each Page



I'm manually feeding a multi-page document through my ImageWriter LQ. The
margins in Page Setup are set correctly at 1 inch, top and bottom. The
paper size is correctly set to Letter, 8 1/2 x 11 inches.

The first page comes out fine, but all the other sheets' top margin
increases by 1/2 inch.

This problem is usually caused by the Manual Feed option not being selected
in the Print dialog box. The printer assumes that it should not do a
backfeed, and increases the top margin on each page. (Also be sure that
the DIP switch 2-8 is set to Open.)

There is something else you might try: Select the Macintosh Print dialog
box by holding down the Shift key while selecting Print from the File Menu.
This allows you to use the Macintosh print drivers. When you select print
without holding down the Shift key, you are accessing the application's
print driver.
