Advancing the Paper to the Tear-Off Edge
If you are using the tractor in the front or rear push position,

 

you can use the tear-off feature to advance your continuous

 

paper to the printer’s tear-off edge when you finish printing.

 

You can then easily tear off the printed document. When you

 

resume printing, the printer automatically feeds the paper back

 

to the top-of-form position so that you can save the paper

normally lost between documents.

As described below, you can use the tear-off feature in two ways: manually by pressing the printer’s Tear Off/Bin button or automatically by turning on auto tear-off mode. The Tear Off/Bin light flashes when the paper is in the tear-off position.

If the perforation between pages is not aligned with the tear-off edge, you can adjust the position of the perforation using the micro adjust feature, as described on page 3-38.

Caution:

c q Never use the tear-off feature with the pull tractor; the paper may come off the pull tractor and jam the printer. After you finish printing, tear off the printed document at the perforation nearest the paper exit slot.

qNever use the tear-off feature to feed labels backward; they may come off their backing sheet and jam the printer.

Using the Tear Off/Bin button

After the printer finishes printing your document, press the Tear Off/Bin button to advance the paper to the tear-off edge.
