Using Continuous Paper
with Optional Push Tractor
Using the tear-off feature
When you use continuous paper, the tear-off feature makes it easier
to tear off the last printed sheet and saves the paper normally lost
between documents.
Note: You can tell the printer to feed the perforation of your
paper to either the edge of the printer cover or approximately
eight centimeters (three inches) beyond, by setting the tear-off
option as described in Chapter 3.
Here’s how the tear-off feature works:

When the printer finishes printing the last page, and the print
head locates on the top-of-form position on the next page, it
automatically advances the paper to the tear-off position.
The READY light ( m ) blinks to indicate the printer is in tear-off
mode.

You can then easily tear off the page along the perforation.
When the printer receives data, it feeds the paper backward to
the top-of-form position and the printer begins printing.
Removing the push tractor
1.
Tear off any printed pages. Press the
FORM FEED
and
FONT
buttons at the same time to feed the remaining paper backward
to the paper-park position. Remove the paper from the push
tractor.
CAUTION:
Always tear off the printed document and
excess paper before feeding paper backward. Never feed
more than one page backward through the printer.
