Pressing the Tear Off key starts the paper tear-off feature cycle.
This feature moves the paper forward, out of the printer, far enough
to tear off the last printed form at its perforation. Tearoff will show in
the display. After a 15-second delay, the beeper will sound a warning.
The paper then retracts back into the printer and is positioned at the
print wires ready to print.
Pressing the Tear Off key a second time during this cycle will cancel
the 15-second delay and immediately retract the paper.
This feature will not work during a fault condition such as Ribbon
Jam or Strikr Bar Open.
