Using Short Tear-off When you are finished printing, the short tear-off feature automatically feeds the perforation of the continuous paper to the tear-off edge of the printer cover so that you can tear off the last sheet. When you resume printing, the paper feeds backward to the loading position. This feature lets you save the paper normally lost between documents. Note: You can use the tear-off feature only with the built-in tractor feeding system. To use this feature, set DIP switch 2-7 to on. Then load continuous paper in the normal way. Leave the paper guide cover open so that you can use the cover's tear-off edge. You can leave the short tear-off feature turned on (DIP switch 2-7 on) even when you are using single sheets. When you move the paper release lever to the single-sheet position, the short tear-off feature is disabled. 3-24 Using the Printer
