When you run the self test, the printer prints the characters stored in its ROM (Read Only Memory). tear off button A control panel button that feeds the perforation of continuous paper to the tear-off position and then feeds the paper back to the top-of-form position. tear-off position The position of your continuous paper when you finish printing if auto tear-off mode is on or if you press the Tear Off/Bin button. Using the micro adjust feature, you can adjust the position so that the paper's perforation meets the printer's tear-off edge. top-of-form position The position on the paper that the printer recognizes as the first printable line. This is the default top margin position. unidirectional printing Printing in which the print head prints in one direction only.
