Epson FX-980 User Manual - Page 134

Page length for front tractor This setting allows you to set the page length (in inches) for continuous paper loaded on the front push tractor. Page length for rear tractor This setting allows you to set the page length (in inches) for continuous paper loaded on the rear push tractor. Skip over perforation This feature is available only when continuous paper is selected. When you select On, the printer provides a one-inch 5 (25.4 mm) margin between the last line printed on one page and the first line printed on the next page. Because the program margin settings in most applications override margin settings made from the control panel, you should use this setting only if you cannot set your top and bottom margins using your application. Auto tear off When auto tear off is on and you are using continuous paper with the front or rear push tractor, the printer automatically advances the paper perforation to the tear-off position, where you can easily tear off the printed pages. When the printer receives the next print job, it automatically moves the unused paper back to the top-of-form position and starts printing, so you can use all of the next page. When auto tear off is off and you are using continuous paper with the front or rear push tractor, you need to move the perforation to the tear-off position manually by pressing the Tear Off/Bin button. See Chapter 2, "Advancing the Paper to the Tear-Off Edge" for more information. (The tear-off feature is not available for paper loaded on the pull tractor.)
