Rear Forms Backup

This parameter is displayed as long as the rear continuous forms paper source is
available. The Rear Forms Backup parameter instructs the printer whether it can
perform tractor movements that would back the forms up. Such movements
include parking the printer. This would be used when the physical characteristics
of the forms currently loaded make it undesirable for the printer to attempt to
move the forms in the reverse direction (for example, labels).
Even if Rear Forms Backup is disabled, the Micro can still be used for the paper
path. You can define the rear forms backup to any one the following values:
Enabled (Default)
Disabled

Rear Push or Rear Push to Front Push paper paths when out of paper.
