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.
Press Micro↑ or Micro ↓ to move the paper to the correct position on the tear off bar.
4.
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.

position.

Setting Top-of-form (cut forms, envelopes)
Top-of-form can range from minus 1 to plus 22 inches from the top of cut sheet paper. To set and save Top-of-
form:

Out light goes off.
