Tear Off (Font) lights are not flashing. Then press the Tear Off
(Font) button. The printer advances the paper to the tear-off edge.
Note:
If the Tear Off (Font) lights are flashing, the paper is in the tear-off
position. If you press the Tear Off (Font) button again, the printer feeds
your paper to the next top-of-form position.

paper to the tear-off position whenever it rece ives a full page of
data or a form feed command followed by no more data.

cCaution:
