Paper Tear Off

The top cover of your printer has a tear bar at the rear edge. It allows you to tear off perforated
sheets quickly and smoothly, without wasting a sheet of paper. We have made it extra easy to
use this convenience by incorporating an automatic advance to the tear bar. This is the paper
tear off feature
Note: You must be printing on continuous
paper with the tractor unit in the push posi-
tion to use this feature.

When your computer sends a form feed com-
mand and no further data, indicating the end
of a print job, the printer automatically ad-
vances the continuous paper up to the tear
bar and stops. All you have to do is reach
over and pull the paper across the tear bar.
When your computer sends more data to the printer, the paper retracts back down to the correct
printing position at the top of form and printing resumes as normal.
If the paper you are using does not advance to the perforations or misses the perforations by
about an inch, ensure that the "form length" (the length of the paper) is set correctly in both the
printer and your computer's printer driver. Form length is set with the SET UP menu.
Note: Occasionally you may not want the paper to automatically advance to the paper tear off.
You can turn this feature off by changing the TEAR OFF option to OFF in the Set Up menu. The
default TEAR OFF setting is ON.
Paper Tear Off Adjustment The paper tear off position is adjusted at the factory for standard
continuous paper. Occasionally this position may not be suitable for the kind of paper you are
using. In these cases you can adjust the tear off position, please refer to Chapter 3.
