Removing a printed document from the push tractor

Follow these steps to remove the printed document:

1. Press the Tear Off (Font) button. Make sure the Tear Off

(Font) lights are flashing. (This indicates that your paper is at

the current tear-off position.)

2. Open the paper guide cover, then tear off the printed

document using the tear-off edge of the paper tension unit.

Note:

If your paper’s perforation is not properly aligned with the tear-off

edge, you can adjust the tear-off position using the Micro Adjust

feature. See “Adjusting the tear-off position” on page 2-25.

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.
