Short tear-off function
The short-tear-off function is handy when using fanfold paper. It ejects the
paper so that the perforation is just above the transparent cover, allowing you
tear it off without having to open up the printer. It then reverses the paper
feed after you have tom off the paper, thereby starting printing at the top of
the next form. This feature is especially useful if you are using pre-printed
stationery (such as invoices, etc), which will not be printed all together.
To use the short tear-off function, press the %A&! button when the printer
is on-line, and hold it down for a few seconds. When you release the button,
the printer will go off-line, and the paper will move up a few inches, allowing
you to tear off the form.
