Not printing straight

Okay, the paperfeed at the top, on the left hand side there is a grey slide, (right in the printer) to hold the paper in place. Use it to keep the paper straight! It seems that if the paper goes in straight, the whole page is printed, if it doesn't it messes up the page.

Worked for other people having trouble with Epson Printers

it sounds like the word document that you made has some time of border or wrong setting. it may look fine on print preview but still print out improperly. if possible copy all txt and then open new word document and passed it and try printing it from the new document

hi carlwienke,

Good day!

Please check the right driver installed in your computer also the document that you want to print.,sometimes the document we print is not compatible with the new version of word processor like MS word and Open office..

1515n - I have the Magenta colour 'shadowing' the blue test. A mirror image of the blue text. [slightly staggered] Black is fine. Applies to all Word docs when printing in blue - can you help please?
I only use genuine cartridges.
Thanks

Hello Linda_snow2,

Try this..

1. Prepare your document as normal.
2. Press Ctrl+A to select the entire document.
3. Press Ctrl+C to copy it to the Clipboard.
4. Switch to a graphics program, such as Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop.
5. Press Ctrl+V to paste the document's image into the program.
6. Using the features of the graphics program, flip the image as desired.
7. Select the entire image and copy it back to the Clipboard.
8. Switch back to Word and paste the graphics object into the document.
9. Print as desired.

When you select Book fold for your page setup, Microsoft Word prints two pages on one side of the paper. When you fold the paper, it opens like a book. This option is intended for documents that have more than two pages.
1. Set up your document as a booklet.
When you create a booklet, it's best to start with a new, blank document so that you have better control over the placement of text, graphics, and other elements. You can add a book fold to an existing document, but you may have to reposition some elements once the book fold is in place.
A. Start a new, blank document.
B. On the File menu, click Page Setup, and then click the Margins tab.
C. In the Multiple pages list, select Book fold.
If your document is not set to landscape orientation, Microsoft Word sets it to landscape.
D. In the Inside and Outside boxes, type or select the amount of space you want for the inside and outside margins (margin: The blank space outside the printing area on a page.).
If you need even more space along the fold to accommodate binding, type or select the amount of space you want in the Gutter box.
E. In the Sheets per booklet list, select the number of pages you want to include in a single booklet.
If the number of pages in the document exceeds the number of pages you select for a booklet, Word prints the document as multiple booklets.
F. Select any other options you want in the Page Setup dialog box.
G. Add text, graphics, headers or footers (header and footer: A header, which can consist of text or graphics, appears at the top of every page in a section. A footer appears at the bottom of every page. Headers and footers often contain page numbers, chapter titles, dates, and author names.), and other elements to your document as usual.
2. On the File menu, click Print.
3. Set options for printing on both sides of the paper.
If you're using a duplex printer (one that automatically prints on both sides of the paper)
Click Properties, and then set the options you want. If you have a choice of setting the page orientation and duplex options, select landscape orientation, and flip the document on the short edge or short side.
If you aren't using a duplex printer
In the Print dialog box, select the Manual duplex check box. Word will print all of the pages that appear on one side of the paper, and then prompt you to turn the stack over and feed the pages again.
4. Select the page range you want to print.
If you click Current page or Pages, Word prints the page you indicate, plus the three other pages that belong on the same sheet of paper.
If you click Selection, Word prints your selection using the default page layout instead of booklet layout.

In 'Print Preview' look at the margins, and see if anything is too close to the edge of the paper. If it is, then set your margins further from the edge, or drag graphics further from the edge, etc.

To correct the margins that are set to close to the edge of the paper, open the document in Microsoft Word and follow these steps:

1. Make sure that you are using the same printer driver that gave you the error in Microsoft Word Viewer.
2. In Word, on the File menu, click Page Setup.
3. Click OK.
   
   You receive a warning dialog box about the unprintable regions.
4. Click the Fix button.
5. Save and close the document.

You can now open and print the document in Word Viewer without receiving the error message.

what's the machine counter? Try to clean the fuser.

did you try to preview your work and see if its coming out on the page like you want before you print try that and see if it looks right before you do your work, I don't know if that will help you out but I hope so.

First, you need to try update the latest microsoft office patch file from microsoft or you can open the MS Word, go to "HELP" menu select the update MS Word or related. Try the latest patch file first. You also can try windows update and select custom update, see their list have this problem solution or not. Second, you need to go to HP website download latest driver for LJ1020 and suitable use on Vista. Lastly, if still not solve the problem, you need this problem/issue to microsoft, ask their solutions. Kent
