Margin problem When attempting to print Email the first 2 characters on the left hand side are cut off. I have not figured out how to adjust the margin to prevent this. The printer performs fine when printing off of internal programs!

printer tiflon is damage please contact the shop kapeer and repair tefon paper

The page setup for Outlook Express are controlled by the settings in
Internet Explorer. Use Page Setup in IE to change the margins and that
will fix your problem...


Good luck..

Hi

By spacing, I assume you mean the margins at the centre.

The default margin settings are not the same for the right and left hand side of the page, so the printing on the reverse side is offset from the printing on the first side.

The right margin is always wider to allow for punch holes in file paper.

It is not the printer settings you need to adjust, it is the page layout of your word processing software.

Adjust the margin settings manually. In MS Office 2007:

Page Layout > Margins > Mirrored Margins.

Hope this helps.

I recommend that you copy paste this in Microsoft Office Word or Microsoft Notepad

Dear Glenn27,
As you mentioned, printer works fine normally however the issue is only while printing emails.. so I would like to know the email program that is in use .. I mean, do you use Outlook, Outlook Express or webmail or Lotus notes etc..
If this is a repeated question then I would like to apologies as we experts are not allowed to peep into other experts' solutions so I cannot see the responses by the previous expert.

Also please let me know the following printer settings ..
AUTO WRAP, RIGHT MARGIN, LEFT MARGIN,

What happens when you copy the email text to a standard text editor like Notepad or Ms Word and then try printing .. does it still print with right margin extended?

Waiting for your response.

Regards,

Welcome to FixYa Mr. McMullen. Email options for characters per line is a parameter than you can customize. As you did not mention which email service you use I could not tell you the specific paths for mail options This may be a factor that would conflict with the printer margins limits which would cut the edge off rather than scale or format the print job.  Also on your email there is generally a print format checkbox but then again you would need to examine your email options.    Thanks for using FixYa and please repost if you need further assistance specifying your email service, Steve Medley

Re set the margins

Sounds like you should first try the toner cartridge. Make sure you shake it and reseat it in the unit. Print a report. Data Reg., Report
Let me know if problem persists.

open ie, change margins in file/page setup and try it again

It's likely a "hammer" is defective. This can be caused by
a build up of ink under the ribbon shield and/or around the hammer "fret" itself or the fret is physically broken. Remember
that this is a "shuttle" printer and each fret covers anywhere from
one to three characters depending on model. Some cover fractions of characters as well. The problem will appear as either
data missing on the left or right margin or a blank column of missing data going down the page.

A technician is required to solve all of these problems as the
shuttle assembly must be removed.
