Using The Tear Off Button; Adjusting The Tear-Off Position - Epson DFX-8500 User Manual

Using the Tear Off button

Whether or not the printer is in tear-off mode, you can use the
Tear Off button to advance continuous paper to the tear-off
position by following the steps below.
1. Make sure printing has finished. Then press the Tear Off
button. The printer advances the paper to the tear-off edge
and the Tear Off light comes on.
2. Tear off all printed pages. If the perforation is not aligned
with the tear-off edge, adjust the tear-off position as
described in the next section.
3. When you resume printing, the printer feeds the paper back
to the loading position and begins printing. (You can also
manually feed the paper back to the loading position by
pressing the Tear Off button again.)

Adjusting the tear-off position

If the paper's perforation is not aligned with the tear-off edge,
follow these steps:
l. Turn on the printer and select the desired tractor.
2. Open the paper separator cover (the flap on the top
part of the printer's top cover). This exposes the printer's
tear-off edge.
