Tearing off a form
(Used only with fanfold paper)
This function is activated by the TEAR OFF key and feeds fanfold paper so that the
perforation is aligned with the paper cutter located at the top rear of the printer, thus enabling
simple paper tearing. During the tear off operation, the FF, PARK, M.LF, and M.RLF keys
are the only active keys and are used to correctly align the paper to the paper cutter.
After tearing off the form, pressing the TEAR OFF key a second time reverse feeds the paper
to the top of the next available form.
Paper Cutter
Pressing the TEAR OFF key (or the ONLINE key) the second time may return the paper to
the original print position when the top edge of the form does not pass above the paper
cutter prior to the first TEAR OFF operation.
