Short tear-off
When you are finished printing (when the printer receives a full
page of data or a form feed and then no more data for three
seconds), this feature automatically feeds the perforation of
continuous paper to the tear-off edge of the printer cover so that
you can tear off the last sheet. When you resume printing, the
paper feeds backward to the loading position. To use this feature,
set DIP switch 2-l to off and load continuous paper. Moving the
paper release lever to the single-sheet position disables the short
tear-off function.
Adjusting the short tear-off position
1. Make sure that the short tear-off feature is turned on and that
the paper is in the short tear-off position.
2. Press and hold the ON LINE button until the printer beeps
once and the ON LINE light begins blinking.
3. Press the FORM FEED button to feed the paper forward or the
LINE FEED button to feed it backward.
When you resume printing, the ON LINE light stops blinking and
the printer remembers the new tear-off position even after you
turn off the power.
Skip-over-perforation
If DIP switch 2-3 is on when you are using continuous paper, the
printer leaves a 25.4mm (one-inch) space between the last line on
one page and the first line on the next page so that the printer can
skip over the perforation. Because most application programs take
care of the top and bottom margins do not turn on skip-over-
perforation unless your program does not provide these margins.
