Configuring the printer
3-15
S Tear-off-mode / Cut-mode
In case the selection of paper exit for the CI - 4080 is "STACKER", each form
will be cut automatically and laid down into the stacker.
If for the CI - 4080 "BATCH" is selected or the CI - 4070 is in use, the
following choices of either automatic feeding into the tear off position or
automatic cutting are available:
S NO
S TEAR - OFF 10 S
S TEAR - OFF 1 S
S CUT 10 S only for CI - 4080
S CUT 1 S only for CI - 4080
S CUT 1 S NO FF only for CI - 4080
S CUT MODE ON only for CI - 4080
Disregarding these settings for the CI - 4080, the printer will always cut the
paper when a switch from one tractor to the other has been initiated. In this
case the CI - 4070 gives the message TEAR OFF Furthermore, all settings
can be overruled by software (Command SPSIF, cut mode on).
Note: If in the CI - 4080 the page before the last gets cut it is not possible to
print on the very last page of the fanfold batch because it has left the
transport pins of the tractors.
The setting NO means, that neither automatic feeding into the tear off position
nor automatic cutting is performed. It is appropriate for batch output of
continuous forms.
The setting TEAR - OFF 10 S causes the paper to move into the tear off
position if no new printing data have been received within 10 seconds. This
setting supports applications lacking a programmed form feed after the
completion of a print job. If printing data are received for the page at the tear
off position after 10 seconds the page is moved back so that printing can
resume at the last print position. If the page has already been torn off printing
will be continued at the top of the next page.
