since the last print operation) and a form boundary (bottom of the form
according to the Form Length setting for the current form) has been

the form to the tear bar. This item may also be used to disable Auto-Scroll

This item selects what action is to be taken when a paper out condition
occurs. The action taken for each of the possible values is described in the
following paragraphs.
When
Finish Page is selected, the printer will attempt to print to the
bottom of the page when a normal paper out condition occurs. Conditions
that will prevent this from happening are when the end of paper is detected
too far from the end of the form (the printer assumes there is not a complete
page available), when reverse paper motion is attempted within the last one
inch of the form, or when a paper jam occurs. If the printer is unable to
finish printing the page, it will attempt to reprint the page as described
below (also refer to the Reprint Page Size option which follows). Note that
if highly precise printing is required in the last inch of the form,
Finish
Page may not provide accurate enough paper motion since the form is no
longer controlled by the tractor mechanism .
When
Reprint Page is selected, the printer will stop printing as soon as
the end of paper or a paper jam condition is detected and the printer will go
off line. After a new box of forms is loaded, the printer will attempt to
reprint the current page from the beginning. If the printer is able to reprint
the page,
Reprinting Page! will be displayed when the new form is
loaded (the previous partially printed page should probably be discarded).
If the printer is unable to reprint the page, the page will be broken,
Cannot
Reprint - Page Too Large will be displayed, and printing will resume
where it left off as described in the next paragraph. The printer’s ability to
