Advancing the paper to the tear-off position automatically

To automatically advance your printed documents to the tear-off position, you need to turn on the auto tear-off mode and select the appropriate page length for continuous paper in the Default Setting mode. For instructions, see “Changing default settings” 2 on page 2-9.

When auto tear-off is on, the printer automatically advances the paper to the tear-off position whenever it receives a full page of data or a form feed command followed by no more data.

Adjusting the tear-off position

If your paper’s perforation is not aligned with the tear-off edge, you can use the Micro Adjust feature to move the perforation to the tear-off position.

Follow these steps to adjust the tear-off position:

cCaution:

Never use the paper-feed knob to adjust the tear-off position; this may damage the printer or cause it to lose the tear-off position.

Note:

Your tear-off position setting remains in effect until you change it, even if you turn off the printer.

1.Make sure the Tear Off (Pitch/Font) lights are flashing (the paper is at the current tear-off position). You may need to press the Pitch (Font) button to advance the paper to the tear- off position.

2.Open the paper guide cover.

3.Hold down the Pause button for about three seconds. The Pause light begins to flash and the printer enters the Micro Adjust mode.
