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.
To use this feature, set DIP switch 2-2 to on, and make sure that the
length of the continuous paper matches the length set by DIP switch
2-1. Then load continuous paper in the normal way.
CAUTION: To change the setting of a DIP switch, first turn
off the printer, change the DIP switch setting, and then turn
the printer back on.
You can leave the short tear-off feature turned on (DIP switch 2-2 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.
WARNING:
Never use short tear-off with
labels.
Otherwise,
labels may come off their backing and jam the printer.
When you have finished printing, if the perforation is at the top of form
position, the printer automatically feeds the perforation of the
continuous paper to the tear-off edge of the printer cover. You can then
tear off the page using the tear-off edge as shown on the next
page.
