Advancing paper to the tear-off edge When the push tractor is installed, you can use the tear-off feature to advance your continuous paper to the printer's 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; so you can save the paper normally lost between documents. You can use the tear-off feature in two ways: ❏ Manually, by pressing the printer's Tear Off (Font) button ❏ Automatically, by turning on the Auto tear off function in Default Setting mode. Using the Tear Off button After the printer finishes printing your document, check that the Tear Off (Font) lights are not flashing. Then press the Tear Off (Font) button. The printer advances the paper to the tear-off edge. Note: If the Tear Off (Font) lights are flashing, the paper is in the tear-off position. If you press the Tear Off (Font) button again, the printer feeds your paper to the next top-of-form position. Advancing 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 Default Setting mode. For instructions, see "Changing the Printer's Default Settings" on page 36. When Auto tear off is on, the printer automatically advances the paper to the tear-off position whenever it receives a full page of data or a form feed command followed by no more data.
