3.3.08 Forms Tear Off
NOTE:
Tear is activated by pressing TEAR. It is a manual
procedure.
FORMS TEAR OFF is activated by changing a setting in the Menu. It is an automatic
procedure.
General Information
1. This feature allows a printed page (rear or bottom feed, continuous form) to be torn off without
wasting paper or adjusting the printer.
2. Forms Tear Off automatically advances the paper from the initial printing position to the tear off
position. The top of the page (perforation) will be even with the tear bar. The tear bar is
located under the clear top of the access cover.
3. Paper will remain in the tear off position until the printer receives data. Then, the paper is
retracted to the initial print position.
4. When printing stops, the paper will advance to the tear off position.
NOTE:
If the software package being used "pauses" while sending data to the printer, Forms Tear
Off may be activated (if it is enabled through the Menu). The pause must be for two or
more seconds. No data is lost. Uneven print registration will occur due to the paper
movement. If the problem occurs, deactivate Forms Tear Off through the Menu.
DO NOT
use Forms Tear Off with labels or multi-part forms.
Remember to activate the Form Tear Off for the paper path you are using (rear feed or bottom
feed).
