Using the Printer's Features
Tear Feature
When you’re using continuous forms with either the
built-in rear-feed tractor or the optional bottom-feed push
tractor, you can use this feature to advance the forms up
to the tear position so you can easily tear off a printed
sheet without wasting paper or readjusting the printer. To
do this, simply press the TEAR button on the front panel.

SET
The tear feature can NOT be used when the op-
tional pull tractor is installed!
Forms Tear-off Feature
Never engage Forms Tear-off when printing on
labels!
The Forms Tear-off feature automatically moves the
paper up to the tear position after the selected interval.
When the printer receives data, it will move down to the
initial printing position.
This feature is normally turned off. To activate it:

Some programs pause occasionally while sending
data. If the pause lasts more than the selected interval,
the paper will advance to the tear-off position until
more data is received. This extra paper movement can
cause uneven print registration in graphics. If you
have this problem, use the menu to deactivate Forms
Tear-Off.
