NOTE
> Your software may print the first line of print above or below where TOF is
set. You may need to adjust the TOF to meet your software's
requirements.
> The Top of Form and Forms Tear-Off settings of your printer interact. How
you set the Top of Form depends on whether Forms Tear-Off is ON (set to
500 ms, 1 sec, or 2 sec) or OFF (the factory default setting).

ORMS TEAR OFF
The Forms Tear-Off feature allows a printed continuous forms page to be torn off without
wasting paper or adjusting the printer.
When printing stops, Forms Tear-Off automatically moves the paper to align the perforation
with the tear bar (located under the access cover), after a time interval which you select
through the menu.
Paper remains in the tear-off position until the printer receives more data. Then, the paper
moves back down for printing.
This feature has to be enabled.
There are two ways to determine the status of the Forms Tear-Off menu setting:
> Print the Menu.
> Use the TEAR key.
To print the Menu:
1
1. Make sure paper is loaded.
2. Hold SHIFT (2), then press SEL (1) to enter the Menu Mode.
3. Press PARK (4) to print the menu.
4. Look for the Form Tear-Off setting in the paper feed group you are using (Rear Feed,
Bottom Feed or Top Feed—Forms Tear–Off appears in the Top Feed group only if the
optional Roll Paper Stand is installed).
To use the TEAR key:
1. Make sure paper is loaded, and wait 2 seconds.
2. Press TEAR (3).
> If the paper moves up, Forms Tear-Off is OFF.
