Epson LX 300+II Reference Manual page 24

You can use the tear-off feature in two ways:
❏ Manually, by pressing the printer's Tear Off (Font) button
❏ Automatically, by turning on the Auto tear-off function in
Default-setting mode.
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 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
Default Setting mode. For instructions, see page 67.
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.
