Advancing the Paper to the Tear-Off Edge
If you use the front or rear push tractor, you can use the tear-off feature to advance your continuous paper to the printer’s tear-off edge when you finish printing. You can then easily tear off the 2 printed document. When you resume printing, the printer automatically feeds the paper back to the top-of-form position so that you can save the paper normally lost between documents.
As described below, you can use the tear-off feature in two ways: manually by pressing the printer’s Tear Off/Bin button, or
automatically by turning on the auto tear-off mode.
If the perforation between pages is not aligned with the tear-off edge, you can adjust the position of the perforation using the micro adjust feature. See “Adjusting the tear-off position” on page 2-40 for instructions.
cCaution:
Never use the tear-off feature (by pressing the Tear Off/Bin button or turning on the auto tear-off mode as described below) to feed continuous paper with labels backward; they may come off their backing sheet and jam the printer.
Using the Tear Off/Bin button
After the printer finishes printing your document, check that the Tear Off/Bin lights are not flashing. Then press the Tear Off/Bin
button. The printer advances the paper to the tear-off edge.
Note:
If the Tear Off/Bin lights are flashing, the paper is in the tear-off position. If you press the Tear Off/Bin button, the printer feeds your paper to the next top-of-form position.
