Setting The Tear Off Position

When Auto Tear Off is on, or set to One Second, it moves the top
perforation of a continuous form to the tear off position, when all of
the following are true:
•
The printer has finished printing.
•
The paper has advanced to the Top-Of-Form on the next page.
•
No data, printer control codes, or escape codes have been sent
to the printer after advancing to the Top-Of-Form.
•
The print buffer has not received data for one second.
If you have already set Top-Of-Form and now want to change the
tear off bar position, follow these steps:
1. Press Start/Stop to take the printer offline.
2. Press and hold Tear Off until the printer beeps.
3. Open the operator panel cover to access layer two.
4. Press Micro
position on the tear off bar.
5. Close the operator panel cover. The printer beeps twice. The
paper rolls backward, then goes to the new tear off position. The
Ready light is on.
The paper remains at the current Tear Off position until you send
another job to the printer. The paper moves from the tear off position
to the Top-Of-Form and begins printing.
