Tearing Off the Printed Pages
After you finish printing, you can use the tear-off feature to | |
advance continuous paper on the push 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. | 3 |
This feature lets you save paper that would normally be lost |
between documents.
You can use the tear-off feature in two ways: by turning on DIP switch 3-1 to select automatic tear-off mode, or by pressing the Tear Off button on the control panel. (See Chapter 4 for information on changing DIP switch settings.)
If the perforation between pages is not aligned with the tear-off edge, you can adjust the tear-off position using the micro-feed feature. The printer remembers this new tear-off position.
cCaution:
Never use the tear-off feature to reverse feed labels, overlapping multi-part forms, continuous forms with labels, or overlapping multi-part forms with labels. Do not use the tear-off feature when the optional pull tractor is installed or when using the paper memory feature (described in Chapter 4).
Tear-off mode
When you select tear-off mode with DIP switch 3-1, the printer automatically advances continuous paper to the tear-off position when you finish printing.
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.
