Using the Operator Panel
Using Tear-Off
The Tear-Off function advances the perforation of a continuous form to
the tear bar position. Tear-Off can be set to move a continuous form
automatically to the tear-off position when Auto
Tear-Off is set to On, or it can be set so you can move a continuous form
manually to the tear-off position when Auto Tear-Off is set to Off. To set
Auto Tear-Off, see page 41.
Auto Tear-Off Set to On
When Auto Tear-Off is set to On, continuous form paper automatically
advances to the tear-off position when:
the paper has advanced to the Top-Of-Form (TOF)
the paper has advanced to the load position on the next page
no data, printer control codes, or escape codes have been sent to the
printer after advancing to the TOF position
The continuous form remains at the tear-off position until the printer
receives the next print request. At that time, the continuous form moves
from the tear-off position to the TOF (load position) to prepare for
printing.
