Page length for rear tractor
This setting allows you to set the page length (in inches) for the continuous paper loaded on the rear
push tractor.
Skip over perforation
This feature is available only when continuous paper is selected as the paper source. When you turn on
this feature, the printer provides a one-inch (25.4 mm) margin between the last line printed on one
page and the first line printed on the next page. Because most application program margin settings
override margin settings from the control panel, you should use this setting only if you cannot set your
top and bottom margins using your application.
Auto tear off
When auto tear off is on and you are using continuous paper with the front or rear push tractor, the
printer automatically advances the paper perforation to the tear-off position, where you can easily tear
off the printed pages. When the printer receives the next print job, it automatically moves the unused
paper back to the top-of-form position and starts printing, so you can use all of the next page.
When auto tear off is off and you are using continuous paper with the front or rear push tractor, you
need to move the perforation to the tear-off position manually by pressing the Tear Off/Bin button.
See “Using the tear-off function” on page 42 for more information.
Auto tear-off wait time
You can select the time from the point printing finished until the paper moves to the tear-off position
for continuous printing. This setting is available when the auto tear-off function is set to on.
Auto line feed
When auto line feed is on, the printer accompanies each carriage return (CR) code received with a line
feed code.
Print direction
You can select bidirectional printing (Bi-D) or unidirectional printing (Uni-D). Printing is normally
bidirectional for faster printing; however, unidirectional printing allows for precise vertical printing
alignment, which is useful for printing graphics.
