Tear Off
After you finish printing, the tear-off feature advances continuous
paper to the tear-off edge of the printer. You can then easily tear
off printed sheets. When you resume printing, the printer
automatically feeds paper back to the loading position.
This feature lets you save the paper normally lost between
documents.
You can use the tear-off feature in either of two ways:
l Turn DIP switch 2-3 on to select tear-off mode.
l
Press the
TEAR OFF
button on the control panel.

CAUTION:
l The tear-off feature can be used only with the front
or rear push-tractor feeding
systems.
l Never use the tear-off feature with labels. When fed
backward, labels may come off the backing and jam
the printer.
Using the tear-off mode
When you select tear-off mode with DIP switch 2-3, the printer
automatically advances continuous paper to the tear-off position
when you finish printing.
The printer advances paper to the tear-off position whenever the
printer receives a full page of data or a form feed, and then
receives no more data for three seconds.
Enter tear-off mode by performing the following steps:
1.
Make sure the printer is turned off. Turn DIP switch 2-3 on.
Also, make sure the page length for continuous paper is
selected correctly (DIP switches 2-1 and 2-2).
2. Turn the printer on.
