❏While holding down FONT, press SET/EJECT/PARK.

The printer will beep once to indicate that a new top of form position has been set.

❏Check to make sure that the printer is on-line.

❏Press the FORM FEED button to perform the long tear-off operation, or press the LINE FEED button to perform the short tear-off operation.

The long tear-off operation causes the paper to be fed automatically so the tear assist edge of the printer cover is aligned with the paper’s next perforation.

The short tear-off operation causes the paper to be fed automatically so the tear assist edge of the printer cover is located just below the last line printed on the paper.

❏Pull the paper against the tear assist edge to tear it off.

❏When you resume printing, the printer reverse feeds the paper to its former position.
