3.2.1.2 Document on Demand If the last character received by the printer
was a Form Feed, or if you pressed FF at the end of the last printed job, you
can make use of the Document on Demand feature and so avoid wasting paper
before the next printed job.
Document on Demand works in the same way as Viewing the Last Printed
Line. Two modes can be selected in the Set-up menu: Automatic and Manual
(the factory default).
Automatic
When two seconds have elapsed since the printer received the last piece of
data (FF), the paper perforation moves on to the tear blade. Tear off the
paper. On the receipt of new data, the paper moves back to its previous
position (the first printable line).
Manual
Press the Ready switch to move the paper perforation on to the tear blade.
Tear off the paper. Press the Ready switch again to move the paper back to
its previous position (the first printable line).
Note: To use Document on Demand correctly, make sure that
the value of the printer’s form length matches the physical
paper size.
