resolution
A measure of the amount of detail that can be represented. Resolution of printed
images is measured by using the number of dots per inch (dpi).
self test
A method for checking the operation of the printer. When you run the self test,
an internally stored self-pattern is printed.
standby position
The position of your continuous paper when it is attached to the tractor but not
loaded in the printer. See also page 5 of the Glossary.
Tear Off/Bin button
A control panel button that feeds the perforation of continuous paper to the tear-
off position. When pressed again, the paper feeds back to the top-of-form
position. Selects the bin when the double-bin cut-sheet feeder is installed.
tear-off position
The position of your continuous paper when you finish printing if the auto tear-
off mode is on or if you press the Tear Off/Bin button. Using the micro adjust
feature, you can adjust the tear-off position so that the paper’s perforation is
aligned with the printer’s tear-off edge. See also page 5 of the Glossary for paper
positions.
top-of-form position
The position on the paper that the printer recognizes as the first printable line.
This is the default top margin position. Using the micro adjust feature, you can
adjust the top-of-form position. See also page 6 of the Glossary for top-of-form
positions.
unidirectional printing
Printing in which the print head prints in one direction only. Unidirectional
printing is useful for printing graphics because it provides precise vertical
alignment. You can select unidirectional printing using the printer’s default-
setting mode or the EPSON Remote! utility. See also bidirectional printing.
