My lq 2180 printer is not aligned properly.printing starts 2 to 3 inches from start of page.jump in every next page is increased by half inch.kindly guide Thanks

The default paper height is 12". If you want to change it to 11" you should refer to printer manual and follow the steps. Otherwise if you are using a software for printing. Ask your developer to give following command for setting paper height

Chr(27) + Chr(67) + Chr(0) + Chr(11)

you can download it from the following site sir:

Are you using 8X12 or 8 1/2 X 11? That will make a lot of difference.

Goto File, Page Set Up, Margins.

Be sure "Marigns" is in the "Inches" setting.

Enter 3.0 inch in two boxes; Topp, & Bottom.

Good Luck,

hi kravi
Install "Epson Compatible 9 pin" driver, you will get it. Thats all

Hi Soulen , This link is very interest and useful for your type of printer : http://files.support.epson.com/pdf/lq2180/lq2180pg.pdf

and also for driver open this link : http://www.driverstock.com/Epson-LQ-2180-driver-download/23-26-3157-53410/index.html

If you still have your printer manual. Look up the instructions for calibration. That will fix it.

A printer is designed to print at a certain ppm (page per minute), so really there is only one way to speed it up. When you select the print option from the File menu, you can select properties and see if you can change the dpi (dots per inch) of the document. Your document will print faster but you will lose quality.

I HAVE CUSTOME SIZE OF PAPER WHICH IS NOT AVILABLE IN THE PRINTER LIST .WHEN I DEEL WITH WINDOS XP
BUT WHEN DEEL WIHTH WINDOS 98 ITS OK

NO I DONT HAVE WINDOS 98 . MY QUESTION HOW I CAN ADJUST PAPER TO CUSTOM SIZE

An Emulation driver will fix everyones problem... Do this:

1. Click on "Start", then "Control Panel" and then "Printers and Faxes".
2. In the left hand column choose the option "Add Printer". The "Add Printer Wizard" comes up, click on "Next".
3. At the "Local or Network Printer" screen choose "Local" and remove the check from "Automatically Detect".
4. Click on "Next".
5. At the "Select Port" screen choose the appropriate port (usually LPT1: recommended printer port).
6. At the install printer software screen choose "Epson" under "Manufacturer" and LQ-1050 for the printer, then click "Next". If you wanted to install the Windows universal driver, choose "generic" under "Manufacturer" and choose "Text Only", then click "Next".
7. At the printer name screen choose "Next".
8. When asked if you would like the printer to be default make the appropriate selections and then click "Next".
9. Finally click on "Finish". You may need your Windows XP installation disk.
