Using the tear-off function
If the push tractor is installed, you can use the tear-off function to advance your continuous paper to
the printer’s tear-off edge when you finish printing. You can then easily tear off the printed document.
When you resume printing, the printer automatically feeds the paper back to the top-of-form position
so that you can save the paper normally lost between documents.
Removing continuous paper
You can remove continuous paper using the tear-off function in two ways:
❏ Manually: Press the Tear Off/Bin button
❏ Automatically: Turn on auto tear-off mode
The Tear Off/Bin light flashes when the paper is in the tear-off position.
If the perforation between pages is not aligned with the tear-off edge, you can adjust the position of the
perforation using the Micro Adjust function. See “Adjusting the tear-off position” on page 55 for
more information.
!
Caution:
❏ Never use the tear-off function with the pull tractor; the paper may come off the pull tractor
and jam the printer. After you finish printing, tear off the printed document at the perforation
nearest the paper exit slot.
❏ Never use the tear-off function to feed continuous paper with labels backward; they may come
off their backing sheet and jam the printer.
Using the Tear Off/Bin button
Follow these steps to remove continuous paper using the Tear Off/Bin button:
1. After you finish printing, make sure that the Tear Off/Bin light is not flashing.
Note:
If the Tear Off/Bin light is flashing, the paper is in the tear-off position. If you press the Tear Off/Bin
button again, the printer feeds your paper to the next top-of-form position.
2. Press the Tear Off/Bin button. The printer advances the paper to the tear-off edge.
