Using The Tear-Off Function - Epson LQ-680 User Manual

When using continuous paper, you can use the tear-off function
to tear off printed pages not wasting any blank pages next to the
printed pages. For more information, see the next section.
Note:
You can advance the paper to the loading position by pressing the
Load/Eject button before the printer receives data.
Always make sure there is at least one more sheet than required,
because continuous paper may not feed properly if it is not fed
through the sprocket.
c
Caution:
Use the knob on the right side of the printer only to clear paper
jams when the printer is off. Otherwise, you may damage the
printer or cause it to lose the top-of-form position.

Using the tear-off function

After you have finished printing, you can use the tear-off function
to advance continuous paper on the tractor to the tear-off edge of
the printer. You can then easily tear off printed sheets. When you
resume printing, the printer automatically feeds paper back to the
loading position so you can save paper that would normally be
lost between documents.
You can use the tear-off function in two ways: by pressing the
button on the control panel, or by using the control panel's
default-setting mode or the EPSON Remote! utility to select auto
tear-off. (See "About Your Printer's Default Settings" on page 4-3
for information on the printer's default-setting mode.)
