Problem

Symptoms: Label prints 3 lines on top of each other on the Epson LQ-1050 printer. We did a text adjustment and fixed the problem, but the user says it should work without the adjustment since his printer is supported. It works fine with the LQ 500 selected (without the adjustment). Solutions: The text adjustment is the correct thing to use to make it work. It is not necessarily a problem, rather a difference in the way we handled it in 5.1. Most of the LQ-850, LQ-950, and LQ-1050 users are using the auto load and paper park (switching) features which always loads that paper at the same position (the Epson LQ series printers in general have this problem). That is why the bias was added to the driver to handle the majority of the cases. It appears to be more confusing for those few that do not want it that way than expected. The driver will soon be changed to have no bias and a text adjustment up as the default in the form so that it can be removed and things will work fine. Watch the software change notices for printer drivers to see that the change is added on the next update.
