Advancing 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 “About Your Printer’s Default Settings” on page 5-4.
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 the steps below.
cCaution:
Never use the 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/Bin lights are flashing (the paper is at the current tear-off position). You may need to press the
Tear Off/Bin 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 flashing and the printer enters the micro adjust mode.
