Epson LQ-850 Printer User Manual


 
Using Continuous Paper
When using continuous paper, you can also choose the short tear-off
feature to give you added paper-handling capabilities. When this
feature is selected, the printer automatically feeds the paper forward so
that you can tear it off at its perforation. Then, it feeds the paper
backward when data is received so you can resume printing at the
loading position.
This feature makes it easier to detach printed pages and saves the
blank pages that are usually lost between printing jobs. See the
section on short tear off in Chapter 3 for details.
