Advancing The Paper To The Tear-Off Edge; Using The Tear Off/Bin Button - Epson FX-2180 User Manual

Advancing the Paper to the Tear-Off Edge

If you use the front or rear push tractor, you can use the tear-off
feature to advance your continuous paper to the printer's
tear-off edge when you finish printing. You can then easily tear
off the printed document. When you resume printing, the
printer automatically feeds the paper back to the top-of-form
position so that you can save the paper normally lost between
documents.
As described below, you can use the tear-off feature in two
ways: manually by pressing the printer's Tear Off/Bin button,
or automatically by turning on the auto tear-off mode.
If the perforation between pages is not aligned with the tear-off
edge, you can adjust the position of the perforation using the
micro adjust feature. See "Adjusting the tear-off position" on
page 2-41 for instructions.
Caution:
c
Never use the tear-off feature (by pressing the Tear Off/Bin
button or turning on the auto tear-off mode as described below) to
feed continuous paper with labels backward; they may come off
their backing sheet and jam the printer.

Using the Tear Off/Bin button

After the printer finishes printing your document, check that
the Tear Off/Bin lights are not flashing. Then press the Tear
Off/Bin button. The printer advances the paper to the tear-off
edge.
Note:
If the Tear Off/Bin lights are flashing, the paper is in the tear off position.
If you press the Tear Off/Bin button, the printer feeds your paper to the
next top-of-form position.
