FORMS TEAR-OFF FEATURE

This feature is normally turned off. To use Forms Tear-Off, you must enter the menu and change the setting to the desired time interval (see “Changing the Forms Tear-Off Settings”).

The Forms Tear-Off feature allows a printed continuous forms page to be torn off without wasting paper or adjusting the printer. It can be used for rear feed continuous forms, bottom feed continuous forms (with the optional push tractor installed), or for top feed roll paper (with optional roll paper stand installed).

When the printer is turned on, the paper feeds to the tear-off position.
