34 Paper Handling
Tearing Off the Printed Pages
After you finish printing, you can use the tear-off feature to
advance continuous paper on the push tractor to the tear-off edge
of the printer. You can then easily tear off printed sheets. When
you resume printing, the printer automatically feeds paper back
to the loading position.
This feature lets you save paper that would normally be lost
between documents.
If the perforation between pages is not aligned with the tear-off
edge, you can adjust the tear-off position using the micro-feed
feature. The printer remembers this new tear-off position.
c
Caution:
Never use the tear-off feature to reverse feed labels, overlapping
multi-part forms, or continuous forms with labels.
Using the Tear Off button
Whether or not the printer is in tear-off mode, you can use the
Tear Off button to advance continuous paper to the tear-off
position by following the steps below.
1. Make sure printing has finished. Then press the Tear Off
button. The printer advances the paper to the tear-off edge
and the Tear Off light comes on.
2. Tear off all printed pages. If the perforation is not aligned with
the tear-off edge, adjust the tear-off position. See “Adjusting
the tear-off position” on page 35 for instructions.
3. When you resume printing, the printer feeds the paper back
to the loading position and begins printing. (You can also
manually feed the paper back to the loading position by
pressing the Tear Off button again.)
