Tear Off

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

4.Tear off all printed pages.

Note: If the perforation does not meet the tear-off edge, you can adjust the tear-off position using the micro-feed feature as described later in this chapter.

5.When you resume printing, the printer automatically feeds the paper back to the loading position and begins printing.

You can leave tear-off mode turned on (DIP switch 2-3on) even when you are using single sheets or the pull tractor because tear-off mode is disabled when you set the paper-release lever to the single-sheet or pull-tractor position.

Using the TEAR OFF button

Whether or not the printer is in tear-off mode, you can use the TEAR OFF button to advance continuous paper to the tear-off position following the steps below:

1.Make sure printing has finished. 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.

Note: If the perforation does not meet the tear-off edge, you can adjust the tear-off position using the micro-feed feature as described in the next section of this chapter.

3.When you resume printing, the printer automatically 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.)
