form to the tear bar when the printer is idle (no additional data received

This item selects what action is to be taken when a paper out condition
occurs. The action taken for each of the possible values is described in the

When Finish Page is selected, the printer will attempt to print to the
bottom of the page when a normal paper out condition occurs. Conditions

page available), when reverse paper motion is attempted within the last one
inch of the form, or when a paper jam occurs. If the printer is unable to
finish printing the page, it will attempt to reprint the page as described below
(also refer to the Reprint Page Size option which follows). Note that if

Page may not provide accurate enough paper motion since the form is no
longer controlled by the tractor mechanism .
When Reprint Page is selected, the printer will stop printing as soon
as the end of paper or a paper jam condition is detected and the printer will
go off line. After a new box of forms is loaded, the printer will attempt to
reprint the current page from the beginning. If the printer is able to reprint
