Auto Tear-Off (Set to On)
When Auto Tear-Off is on, it moves the top perforation of a
continuous form to the tear bar (tear-off position) when:
• the printer has finished printing;
• the paper has advanced to the TOF on the next page;
• no data, printer control codes, or escape codes have been sent
to the printer after advancing to the TOF; and
• the print buffer has not received data for one second.
If you have already set your TOF and now want to change the
Auto Tear-Off setting, complete the following steps:
1Press Start/Stop to take the printer offline.
2Press Micro ↓ or Micro ↑ to move the paper to the appropriate
position on the tear bar. The printer beeps if you go out of
range.
3Press Start/Stop to set and save the tear-off position. The
printer beeps twice. The paper rolls backward, then goes to
the new tear-off position. The Ready light goes on.
The paper remains at the current tear-off position until you send
another job to the printer. The paper then moves from the tear-off
position to the TOF and begins printing.
Tip: To print labels, set Auto Tear-Off to "Off". For help, see “Auto
Tear-Off (Set to Off)” on page 80.
