❏If the trailing edge of the paper is past the paper sensor after the printed document is torn off, the
paper will be fed forward without being printed.
❏Do not pull the loaded paper out of the tractor unit. Doing so may cause paper jams or printer
malfunctions. Also, the top-of-form position setting may become misadjusted.
❏The last page of continuous paper that is printed may have low print quality.
❏If the first line on your page appears too high or low, you can change its position using the Micro
Adjust function. For more information, see “Adjusting the top-of-form position” on page 24.
❏Make sure that the right and left edges of continuous paper are straight and not slack when you load
the paper.
❏Do not pull the paper while printing. Doing so may adversely affect the print quality.
!
Caution:
Never open the top cover or ink cartridge cover while printing.
Using the tear-off function
You can use the tear-off function to advance your continuous paper to the printer’s tear-off position
after you finish printing.
❏To tear off the printed sheet manually after printing, press the Tear Off button to advance the
perforation of the paper to the tear-off position.
❏To enable the auto tear-off function, turn on the Auto Tearoff Setting from the printer driver. The
printer advances the perforation of the paper to the tear-off position automatically when a set time
has passed after printing. When the printer receives the print data, the printer feeds the paper
backward to the top-of-form position automatically. For more information, see “Setting the Auto
Tear-Off Function” on page 35.
If the paper perforation is not in the desired tear-off position, you can use the Micro Adjust function to
adjust the position of the perforation. For more information, see “Adjusting the tear-off position” on
page 23.
Follow these steps to use the auto tear-off function.
