FEATURES / TIPS

Forms Tear-Off

The Forms Tear-Off feature allows a printed continuous forms page to be torn off without wasting paper or adjusting the printer.

When printing stops, Forms Tear-Off automatically moves the paper to align the perforation with the tear bar (located under the access cover), after a time interval which you select through the menu.

Paper remains in the tear-off position until the printer receives more data. Then, the paper moves back down for printing.

This feature has to be enabled.

Paper Park

Your printer’s paper park feature allows you to print a single sheet (cut-sheet) page without removing continuous feed paper from the printer.

For more information, see “Paper Park” in “Using your Printer”.
