Advancing the Paper to the Tear-Off Edge
If you are using the tractor in the front or rear push position,
you can use the tear-off feature to advance your continuous
paper to the printer’s tear-off edge when you finish printing.
You can then easily tear off the printed document. When you
resume printing, the printer automatically feeds the paper back
to the top-of-form position so that you can save the paper
normally lost between documents.
As described below, you can use the tear-off feature in two
ways: manually by pressing the printer’s
Tear Off/Bin
button
or automatically by turning on auto tear-off mode. The Tear
Off/Bin light flashes when the paper is in the tear-off position.
If the perforation between pages is not aligned with the tear-off
edge, you can adjust the position of the perforation using the
micro adjust feature, as described on page 3-38.

Caution:
Never use the tear-off feature with the pull tractor; the
paper may come off the pull tractor and jam the printer.
After you finish printing, tear off the printed document at
the perforation nearest the paper exit slot.
Never use the tear-off feature to feed labels backward; they
may come off their backing sheet and jam the printer.
Using the Tear Off/Bin button
After the printer finishes printing your document, press the
Tear Off/Bin
button to advance the paper to the tear-off edge.
