Selecting Tear-off mode

By default the "Tear" parameter of the printer is set to "Manual". If you want to transport
the paper to tear-off position, you must press the TEAR OFF key.
The "Tear" parameter can be set to automatic mode. In this case the paper is transported
after a certain duration of time (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 seconds) automatically to the tear-off posi-

When the printer receives the next print request, the paper moves automatically from the
tear-off position to the previous position.

ONLINE key if necessary.
