DYou can switch to single sheets without removing the paper supply from the push tractor. For instructions, see “Switching to single sheets” later in this chapter.

QYou can use the printer’s micro-feed feature to adjust the position, just as when you load single sheets. The printer remembers this new position even after you turn it off. See page 2-3.

When you turn on the printer with paper loaded, it reverses the paper to the paper-park position and then advances it to the next page. To keep the loading position accurate, remove any printed sheets before you turn off the printer .

Using the tear-off feature

After you have finished printing, you can use the tear-off feature to advance paper to the tear-off edge of the printer. You can then easily tear off printed sheets. When you resume printing, the printer feeds paper back to the loading position. This feature lets you save paper that would normally be lost between documents.

To use the tear-off feature, turn the tear-off mode on using the default-settings mode as described in Chapter 3.

The printer advances paper to the tear-off position only when the printer receives a full page of data or a form-feed command and no more data is received for three seconds.

I Caution:

1 Never use the tear-offfeaturewith labels. When fed backward, labels may come off the backing and jam the printer.

UWhen you use labels, alzuays turn the tear-off mode off using the defrzult-settings mode.
