When using continuous paper, you can use the tear-off function to tear off printed pages not wasting any blank pages next to the printed pages. For more information, see the next section.

Note:

❏You can advance the paper to the loading position by pressing the Load/Eject button before the printer receives data.

❏Always make sure there is at least one more sheet than required, because continuous paper may not feed properly if it is not fed through the sprocket.

cCaution:

Use the knob on the right side of the printer only to clear paper jams when the printer is off. Otherwise, you may damage the printer or cause it to lose the top-of-form position.

Using the tear-off function

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

You can use the tear-off function in two ways: by pressing the button on the control panel, or by using the control panel’s default-setting mode or the EPSON Remote! utility to select auto tear-off. (See “About Your Printer’s Default Settings” on page 4-3for information on the printer’s default-setting mode.)
