Tear Off; Using The Tear-Off Mode - Epson FX-870 User Manual

Tear Off

When you use continuous paper, the tear-off feature makes it easier
to tear off the last printed sheet and saves the paper normally lost
between documents. After you finish printing, this feature advances
the paper to the tear-off edge of the printer so you can easily tear off
the printed sheets. When you resume printing, the printer
automatically feeds the paper back to the loading position.
You can use the tear-off feature in either of two ways:
Turn on the tear-off mode in the default-setting mode.

Using the tear-off mode

When you select the tear-off mode in the default-setting mode, the
printer automatically advances paper to the tear-off position
whenever it receives a full page of data or a form feed command
and then receives no more data.
First, select tear-off using the default-setting mode as described
earlier in this chapter. Also make sure the page length for
continuous paper is selected correctly in the default-setting mode.
Be sure you turn the printer off to exit from the default-setting mode
and turn it on again.
