The LINE FEED/LOAD button lets you advance or load paper when the printer is off line. To feed your paper one line, press this button once. Hold the button down to feed paper continuously.

To load paper, there must be paper loaded in the standby position in the selected tractor. See the sections on loading paper in Chapter 2 for more information.

The TEAR OFF button feeds the paper to the printer’s tear-off edge so you can tear off your document without losing the paper normally lost between printing jobs. To use this feature, take the printer off line after your document has finished printing and press the TEAR OFF button. The printer feeds the paper to the printer’s tear-off edge. After tearing off the document, press the TEAR OFF or ON LINE button to feed the paper back to the top of form position.

If the perforation of your paper does not align exactly with the printer’s tear-off edge, you can use the MICRO FEED buttons to adjust the tear-off position. See the section on using automatic tear-off in Chapter 2.

WARNING: Never use the TEAR OFF button with labels. Use the FORM FEED or LINE FEED button instead to feed the printed labels to a point where they can be torn off.

The two MICRO FEED buttons advance or reverse the loaded paper in 1/216th-inch increments when the printer is off line. You can use these buttons to adjust the top of form, tear-off, and printing positions.

To reset the top of form position, take the printer off line and press the TOP OF FORM button to enter the top of form mode. Then use the MICRO FEED buttons to move
