SYMPTOMS
========
Printing to a Citizen dot-matrix printer results in a larger top margin than set
in the application.
CAUSE
=====
The Citizen drivers, like other Windows 95 dot-matrix drivers, default to an
unprintable top of 0 inches for tractor feed. Most Citizen printers, however,
have the factory default top-of-form set to 1 inch. This causes the printing
from Windows 95 to be shifted 1 inch down the page.
RESOLUTION
==========
Go to the Properties settings for the Citizen printer. On the paper property
tab, click the "Unprintable Area..." button. Set the unprintable top setting to
1000. (The setting is in 1/1000ths of an inch).
MORE INFORMATION
================
If you are using a sheet-feeder, make sure to set the paper source to
"Sheet-Feeder...", then click the "Unprintable Area..." button and click the
"Defaults" button in the Unprintable Area dialogue. This will correctly set the
default unprintable regions for the sheet-feeder.
Most of the Citizen printers have a customizable top-of-form setting for the push
tractor feeder. If you have changed this setting to something other than 1 inch,
you will need to adjust the unprintable top setting in the Paper properties tab
accordingly. For example, if you have set your top- of-form to .5 inch on the
printer, you will need to set the unprintable top setting to 500. For more
information on setting the top-of-form on your printer, refer to your printer's
manual.
