Setting the Tear Off position

When Auto Tear Off is On or set to One Second, it moves the top perforation of a continuous form to the Tear Off position when all of the following are true:

•The printer has finished printing.

•The paper has advanced to the Top-Of-Form on the next page.

•No data, printer control codes, or escape codes have been sent to the printer after advancing to the Top-Of-Form.

•The print buffer has not received data for one second.

If you have already set your Top-Of-Form and now want to change the Tear Off bar position, follow these steps:

1Press Start/Stop to take the printer offline.

2Press and hold Tear Off until the printer beeps.

3Open the operator panel cover to access layer 2.

4Press Micro ↑ or Micro ↓ to move the paper to the correct position on the Tear Off bar.

5Close the operator panel cover. The printer beeps twice.

The paper rolls backward, then goes to the new Tear Off position.

6The Ready light is On.

7Press Start/Stop.

The paper remains at the current Tear Off position until you send another job to the printer. The paper moves from the Tear Off position to the Top-Of-Form and begins printing.
