A short tear-off feature that saves paper. When a sheet of continuous paper is torn off at the end of a printout, the printer reverse-feeds the remaining paper so that printing can begin at the top of the next sheet. A paper memory feature that produces high quality printing on your multi-part forms by using stored paper format and thickness information to adjust the print head. A width detection feature that automatically adjusts the printing to match the width of the paper loaded in the printer. This prevents the printer from printing directly on the platen, which damages the print head. Introduction 3
