10. The printer is ready to start printing.
When using continuous paper, you can use the tear off function to tear off printed pages and save
the blank pages that are usually wasted between print jobs. For more information, see "Using the
tear off function" on page 35.
Note:
Always make sure there is at least one more sheet than required; continuous paper may not feed
properly if it is not fed through the sprockets.
Caution:
!
❏ Do not pull the loaded paper out of the tractor unit while the printer is on. Doing so may
cause paper jams or printer malfunctions, also the top-of-form position setting may become
misadjusted.
❏ Do not pull out paper that is not ejected completely after pressing the Load/Eject button.
Doing so may cause paper jams or printer malfunctions, also the top-of-form position
setting may become misadjusted.
Note:
If the first line on your page appears too high or low, you can change its position by changing the
Top-of-Form position in the Micro adjust function. See "Adjusting the top-of-form position" on
page 46.
Using the tear off function
You can use the tear off function 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.
Removing continuous paper
You can remove continuous paper using the tear off function in two ways:
❏ Manually: Press the Tear Off button
❏ Automatically: Turn on auto tear off mode
The Tear Off light flashes when the paper is in the tear off position.
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 function. See "Adjusting the tear off position" on page 45
for more information.
