This feature lets you save paper that would normally be lost between documents.

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, or continuous forms with labels.

1.Make sure printing has finished. Then press the Tear Off button. The printer advances the paper to the tear-off edge and the Tear Off light comes on.

2.Tear off all printed pages. If the perforation is not aligned with the tear-off edge, adjust the tear-off position. See “Adjusting the tear-off position” on page 32 for instructions.

3.When you resume printing, the printer feeds the paper back to the loading position and begins printing. (You can also manually feed the paper back to the loading position by pressing the Tear Off button again.)
