DIP Switches
Skip-over-perforation
Turning DIP switch
1-8
on when you are using continuous paper
enables the skip-over-perforation function. Use this function to
leave a one-inch
(25.4
mm) space between the last printable line
on one page and the first printable line on the next page so that
the printer skips over the perforation.
Most application programs take care of the top and bottom
margins. Do not turn on skip-over-perforation unless your program
does not provide these margins.
You can adjust your top-of-form position with the MICRO FEED
buttons if you want half of the space at the bottom of one page
and half at the top of the next page.
Continuous paper page length
When you are printing on continuous paper, DIP switches 2-1 and
2-2
let you select one of the four page lengths described in
DIP-switch Table 5.
Tear off
You can turn DIP switch
2-3
on to select tear-off mode. See page
3-16
for a complete description of using the tear-off mode.
Tear-off mode is available only with continuous paper loaded with
the rear or front push-tractor.
