You can use the tear-off feature in two ways:

❏Manually, by pressing the printer’s Tear Off (Font) button

❏Automatically, by turning on the Auto tear-off function in Default-setting mode.

Using the Tear Off button

After the printer finishes printing your document, check that the Tear Off (Font) lights are not flashing. Then press the Tear Off (Font) button. The printer advances the paper to the tear-off edge.

Note:

If the Tear Off (Font) lights are flashing, the paper is in the tear-off position. If you press the Tear Off (Font) button again, the printer feeds your paper to the next top-of-form position.

Advancing paper to the tear-off position automatically

To automatically advance your printed documents to the tear- off position, you need to turn on the Auto tear-off mode and select the appropriate page length for continuous paper in Default Setting mode. For instructions, see page 67.

When Auto tear-off is on, the printer automatically advances the paper to the tear-off position whenever it receives a full page of data or a form feed command followed by no more data.
