Tear Feature

When you’re using continuous forms with either the built-in rear-feed tractor or the optional bottom-feed push tractor, you can use this feature to advance the forms up to the tear position so you can easily tear off a printed sheet without wasting paper or readjusting the printer. To do this, simply press the TEAR button on the front panel.
