Form Tear Off

Note: Don't use forms tear off when printing on labels or multipart forms. Labels should only be

fed from the bottom of the printer.

To activate this feature, press the

MODE

button and use the

GROUP

ITEM

and

SET

buttons

to change the FORM TEAR OFF setting to 500 ms (1). (See Chapter 5 (

) for details on how to

use the menu). Press the

MODE

button to exit the Menu mode, then use the

TOF/QUIET

and

FORM FEED

LINE FEED

buttons to set the top of form as described above (2).

When you release the

TOF/QUIET

button, the paper advances to the tear bar, located

under the clear top of the access cover (3).

Note: You can check the initial printing position at any time: press the

SEL

button, then

press

TOF/QUIET

; the paper will move down to the initial printing position until you release

the button.

The page stays in the tear off position until the printer receives data; then moves down to

the printing position to print. Afew seconds after printing stops, the paper moves up to the

tear off position.

Note: Some programs pause occasionally while sending data. If the pause lasts more than two

seconds, the paper will advance to the tear off position until more data is received. This extra

paper movement can cause uneven print registration in graphics. If you have this problem, use

the menu to deactivate forms tear off.
