Automatic cut-sheet loading and ejection with cut-sheet feeder
Move the release lever to the friction-feed position, and place the sheets into the hopper of the cut-sheet
feeder. Pressing the LOAD/EJECT button loads one sheet to the top-of-form position. If a paper-out is
detected before printing starts, a sheet will again be loaded automatically to the top-of-form position.
Continuous paper loading and ejection
Move the release lever to the REAR PUSH position, and insert the paper into the tractor unit. Pressing
the LOAD/EJECT button loads the paper automatically to the top-of-form position. If a paper-out is
detected before printing starts, the paper will be loaded automatically to the top-of-form position.
If the LOAD/EJECT button is pressed after continuous paper has been loaded, the paper is ejected
backward to the push tractor unit. To back out several pages, press the LOAD/EJECT button several
times. Each time LOAD/EJECT is pressed, reverse feed is performed for a single page.
When the paper is at the current setting for the top-of-form position, the top-of-form adjustment function
is valid for the next loaded At this time, the LOAD\ EJECT button advances the paper forward,
and the LINE FEED/FORM FEED button moves the paper backward.
The adjusted top-of-form position for continuous paper is saved in EEPROM, but the setting for cut sheet
paper is not saved.
1.6.9 Tear-off Function
The below tear-off function is limited under the push tractor mode.
Auto-tear-off
The auto-tear-off function is enabled by DIP switch setting. When this function is enabled and the release
lever is in the tractor position, the paper advances to the tear-off position automatically if the input data
buffer is empty and the printer is in the RUNNING condition. The TEAR-OFF LED lights to indicate that
you can use the LOAD/EJECT and LINE FEED/FORM FEED buttons, in combination with the ALT button,
for backward and forward micro feed adjustment.
Using micro feed, adjust the paper to meet the tear-off edge. Once the tear-off position is set, this setting
remains valid even after the printer is turned off or initialized. If subsequent data is sent to the printer,
the paper returns to the original position automatically and printing starts. If the PAUSE button is pressed
while the paper is advanced to the tear-off position, the paper returns to the original position (and the
printer enters the PAUSE condition).
