Using auto tear-off mode

When you select the auto tear-off mode default setting, the printer 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.

Select tear-off using the Default Setting mode as described earlier in this chapter. Also make sure the page length for continuous paper is selected correctly in the Default Setting mode. Be sure you turn off the printer to exit from the Default Setting mode, and then turn it on again.

1.Print on continuous paper loaded on the front or rear push tractor (as described in Chapter 2). When you finish printing, the printer advances the perforation of the final printed page to the tear-off position.

2.Tear off all printed pages.

3.When you resume printing, the printer automatically feeds the paper back to the loading position and begins printing. If the perforation does not meet the tear-off edge, you can adjust the tear-off position using the micro adjust feature as described in the previous section.

You can leave auto tear-off mode on even when you are using single sheets because the mode is disabled when you move the paper release lever to the single-sheet position.

Note:

Don’t turn on the auto tear-of mode when using the pull tractor. Set auto tear-off mode to off in the Default Setting mode, or avoid touching the Tear Off/Bin button when using the pull tractor.
