Advancing Paper To The Tear-Off Edge - Epson LX-300 Manual

Your top-of-form position setting remains in effect until you
change it, even if you turn off the printer.
The top margin setting made in some software
applications overrides the top-of-form position setting
you make with the Micro Adjust feature. If necessary,
adjust the top-of-form position in your software.
If you want to restore the printer's default top-of-form position,
you can reset the printer. See "Restoring the printer's default
settings" on page 14 for instructions.

Advancing paper to the tear-off edge

When the push tractor is installed, 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 you can save the paper normally lost between documents.
You can use the tear-off feature in two ways:
❏
Manually, by pressing the printer's
❏
Automatically, by turning on the Auto tear off function in
Default Setting mode.
Using the Tear Off button
After the printer finishes printing your document, check that
the Tear Off (Font) lights are not flashing. Then press the
( ) button. The printer advances the paper to the
Tear Off Font
tear-off edge.
If the Tear Off (Font) lights are flashing, the paper is in
the tear-off position. If you press the Tear Off (Font)
button again, the printer feeds your paper to the next
top-of-form position.
Advancing paper to the tear-off position
automatically
To automatically advance your printed documents to the tear-
off position, you need to turn on the Auto tear off mode and
select the appropriate page length for continuous paper in
Default Setting mode. For instructions, see "Default Settings"
on page 14.
When Auto tear off is on, the printer automatically advances the
paper to the tear-off position whenever it receives a full page of
data or a form feed command followed by no more data.
