Adjusting the Tear-off Position
First make sure that continuous paper is loaded in the current
tear-off position (see page 3-18 for details). Follow these steps
to adjust the tear-off position:
1. Press the
Micro Adjust U button to feed paper backward
or the
Micro Adjust D button to feed paper forward. Press
either button as many times as necessary to align the
perforation with the tear-off edge. When the adjustment
reaches the maximum setting for your printer, it does not
move further.
2. Tear off any printed pages.
3. Press the
Load/Eject button to feed the rest of the
continuous paper backward to the paper-park position so
it’s ready for printing the next time you need it.
The tear-off position you select remains in effect until you
change it again, even when you turn off the printer.
For instructions on setting your printer’s auto tear-off mode, see
page 5-3.
Switching Between Continuous
and Single-sheet Paper
When you have both continuous paper and single sheet paper
loaded in the built-in sheet feeder, you can switch between
paper types whenever you need to print on them. Follow these
steps:
1. If continuous paper remains inside the printer, tear off the
printed pages. Then press the
Load/Eject button on the
printer’s control panel to feed the paper backward to the
paper-park position.
If single sheet paper is loaded, press the
Load/Eject button
to eject any sheets still inside the printer.
Caution:
Never adjust the tear-off
position when you’re
printing labels. This could
feed labels backward,
causing them to tear off
inside the printer.
