Advancing The Paper To The Tear-Off Edge - Epson LX-1170+II User Manual

Advancing the paper to the tear-off edge

If you use the push tractor, you can use the tear-off feature to
advance your continuous paper to the printer's tear-off edge
when you finish printing. You can then easily tear off the printed
document. When you resume printing, the printer automatically
feeds the paper back to the top-of-form position so that you can
save the paper normally lost between documents.
As described below, you can use the tear-off feature in two ways:
manually, by pressing the printer's Tear Off (Font) button, or
automatically, by turning on the auto tear-off mode.
Caution:
c
Never use the tear-off feature (as described below) to feed
continuous paper with labels backwards; they may come off their
backing sheet and jam the printer.
Using the Tear Off button
After the printer finishes printing your document, check that the
Tear Off (Font) lights are not flashing. Then press the Tear Off
(Font) button. The printer advances the paper to the tear-off edge.
Note:
If the Tear Off (Font) lights are flashing, the paper is in the tear-off
position. If you press the Tear Off (Font) button again, the printer feeds
your paper to the next top-of-form position.
Advancing the paper to the tear-off position automatically
To automatically advance your printed documents to the tear-off
position, you need to turn on the auto tear-off mode and select
the appropriate page length for continuous paper in the Default
Setting mode. For instructions, see "Changing default settings".
When auto tear-off is on, the printer automatically advances the
paper to the tear-off position whenever it receives a full page of
data or a form feed command followed by no more data.
