FORMS TEAR OFF

4.13.01 General Information
This feature allows a printed page (rear feed, continuous form) to be torn off without wasting
paper or adjusting the printer.
Forms Tear Off advances the paper from the initial printing position to the tear off position.
The top of the page (perforation) will be even with the tear bar. The tear bar is located under
the clear top of the access cover.
Paper will remain in the tear off position until the printer receives data. Then, the paper is
retracted to the initial print position.
When printing stops, the paper will advance to the tear off position.
NOTE: If the software package being used "pauses" while sending data to the printer, Forms Tear
Off may be activated (if it is enabled through the Menu). The pause must be for two or more seconds.
No data is lost. Uneven print registration will occur due to the paper movement. If the problem occurs,
deactivate Forms Tear Off through the Menu.
Do NOT use Forms Tear Off with labels or multi-part forms.
