Forms Tear-Off

!The status of the Forms Tear-Off menu setting affects how you set the Top of Form.

To determine the status of the Forms Tear-Off menu setting, refer to “Using Your Printer, Top of Form, Forms Tear-Off Status (ON or OFF).”

For information on setting the Top of Form, refer to “Using Your Printer, Top of Form, Setting Top of Form, Forms Tear-Off (ON or OFF).”

The Forms Tear-Off feature allows a printed page (continuous forms, rear or bottom feed, with no pull tractor option installed) to be torn off without wasting paper or adjusting the printer.

Forms Tear Off automatically moves the paper from the initial printing position to the tear-off position, after a time interval (which you select through the menu).

The top of the page (perforation) is even with the tear bar. The tear bar is located under the clear top of the access cover.

Paper remains in the tear-off position until the printer receives more data. Then, the paper moves back down for printing (retracts to the initial print position).

When printing stops, the paper advances to the tear-off position.

The default setting for Forms Tear-Off is OFF.

There are two types of Forms Tear-Off.

•Automatic Forms Tear-Off

•Manual Forms Tear-Off

!If the software package you are using “pauses” while sending data to the printer, Forms Tear-Off may be

activated (if it is enabled through the Menu). The pause must be for two or more seconds. No data is lost. Uneven print registration will occur due to the paper movement. If the problem occurs, use the menu to turn off this feature.

!DO NOT use Forms Tear-Off with labels or multi-part forms!

!Forms Tear-Off CANNOT be used when the optional pull tractor is engaged.
