USING YOUR PRINTER > 19
When data is received, the paper automatically moves down to the
print position (TOF) and printing begins.
When printing stops, Forms Tear-Off automatically moves the paper to
align the perforation with the tear bar (located under the access
cover), after the time interval which you selected through the menu.
Paper remains in the tear-off position until the printer receives more
data. Then, the paper moves back down for printing.
POTENTIAL ISSUES WITH SOFTWARE PACKAGES
If Forms Tear-Off is set to
ON
and the software package you are using
“pauses” for a long enough interval while sending data to the printer,
Forms Tear-Off may be activated. No data is lost, but this causes
uneven print registration due to the paper movement.
If this occurs, use the menu to turn off this feature, then use the TEAR
key to move the paper up to the tear position manually (see
“Changing the Forms Tear-off Settings”).
NOTE
You can also move the paper down to the print position manually by
pressing
TEAR
.
NOTE
> The status of the Forms Tear-Off menu setting affects how you set
the Top of Form: see “Top of Form (TOF) and Forms Tear-Off” earlier
in this chapter.
> Do not use Forms Tear-Off with labels or multipart forms!
> Forms Tear-Off cannot be used when the optional pull tractor is
engaged.
