Advancing The Paper To The Tear-Off Edge - Epson LX-1170 User Manual

When the paper reaches the default top-of-form position, the
printer also beeps and stops moving the paper briefly. You can
use the default position as a reference point when adjusting the
top-of-form position.
To adjust the top-of-form position for continuous paper
loaded on the pull tractor, see the following example:
First mark a point 2.5 mm above the paper's perforation; then
position the paper so that the mark is even with the top edge
of the plastic ribbon cover. This gives you an 8.5 mm margin
on the next page, meaning the printer starts printing 8.5 mm
below the perforation. If you mark a point 5.5 mm above the
perforation, you get a 5.5 mm margin on the next page.
6. After you set the top-of-form position, press the Pause button
to exit the Micro Adjust mode.

Advancing the paper to the tear-off edge

If you use the push tractor, 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 that you can
save the paper normally lost between documents.
