Using the Operator Panel
Using Tear-Off
The Tear-Off function advances the perforation of a continuous form to
the tear bar position. Tear-Off can be set to move a continuous form
automatically to the tear-off position when Auto
Tear-Off is set to On, or it can be set so you can move a continuous form
manually to the tear-off position when Auto Tear-Off is set to Off. To set
Auto Tear-Off, see page 41.
Auto Tear-Off Set to On
When Auto Tear-Off is set to On, continuous form paper automatically
advances to the tear-off position when:
• the paper has advanced to the Top-Of-Form (TOF)
• the paper has advanced to the load position on the next page
• no data, printer control codes, or escape codes have been sent to the
printer after advancing to the TOF position
The continuous form remains at the tear-off position until the printer
receives the next print request. At that time, the continuous form moves
from the tear-off position to the TOF (load position) to prepare for
printing.
