- I have the same problem on my EPSON LQ-570 when using the tractor
- feeder. When I purchased my printer (which included no drivers), I
- also purchased a sheet feeder. When Windows is told that the sheet
- feeder is being used, the drivers LQ-570 seem to work just fine.
-
- In addition, to the problems mentioned, I discovered that the horizontal
- margins are different for Windows and DOS. I had the margins all set up,
- using the tractor feeder, for both DOS's print utility, and for Microsoft
- Word 5.5. That all worked great. When going into windows though, not
- did I get the vertical shift mentioned, but I also got a horizontal shift,
- about 1/4 of an inch, to the left.
-
- My final solution (at this point) is that I use the sheet feeder when in
- Windows, and the tractor feeder when in DOS. In this way, the printer is
- lined up for both, which no constant adjustment on my part.
