To adjust the top-of-form position for continuous paper
loaded on the pull tractor, see the following example:
First mark a point 0.26 inch (6.5 mm) above the paper’s
perforation; then position the paper so that the mark is even
with the top edge of the plastic ribbon cover. This gives you
an 0.33 inch (8.5 mm) margin on the next page, meaning
the printer starts printing 0.33 inch (8.5 mm) below the
perforation. If you mark a point 0.22 inch (5.5 mm) above
the perforation, you get a 0.37inch (9.5 mm) margin on the
next page.
5. After you set the top-of-form position, press the
Pause
button to exit micro adjust mode.
Advancing the Paper to the Tear-Off Edge
If you use the front or rear push tractor, you can use the tear-off
feature to advance your continuous paper to the 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,
saving the paper normally lost between documents.
You can use the tear-off feature manually by pressing the Tear
Off/Bin button, or automatically by turning on the auto tear-
off mode.
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 feature.
Never use the tear-off feature (by pressing the Tear Off/
Bin button or turning on the auto tear-off mode) to feed
continuous paper with labels backward; they may come
off their backing sheet and jam the printer.
Using the Tear Off/Bin button
After your document prints, check that the Tear Off/Bin lights
are not flashing. Then press the
Tear Off/Bin button. The Tear
Off/Bin lights start flashing and the paper advances to the tear-
off edge.
If the Tear Off/Bin lights are flashing, the paper is in the
tear-off position. If you press the Tear Off/Bin button
again, your paper feeds to the top-of-form position.
Advancing the paper to the tear-off position
automatically
To automatically advance your printed documents to the tear-
off position, you need to turn on the auto tear-off mode and
select the appropriate page length for continuous paper in the
default setting mode. For instructions, see “Changing Default
Settings” on page 25.
When auto tear-off is on, the paper automatically advances to
the tear-off position when the printer receives a full page of data
or a form feed command followed by no more data.
Adjusting the tear-off position
If the paper perforation is not aligned with the tear-off edge,
you can use the micro adjust feature to move the perforation to
the tear-off position. Follow the steps below.
Never use the knob to adjust the tear-off position;
this may damage the printer or cause it to lose the
tear-off position. Use the knob only when the printer
is turned off.
Your tear-off position setting remains in effect until you
change it, even if you turn off the printer.
1. Make sure the Tear Off/Bin lights are flashing (the paper is
at the current tear-off position). If necessary, press the
Tear
Off/Bin
button to advance the paper to the tear-off position.
2. Open the paper guide cover.
3. Hold down the
Pause button for about 3 seconds. The
Pause light begins flashing and the printer enters the micro
adjust mode.
