Using the Printer
First mark a point 5.5 mm (0.22 inch) above the paper’s
perforation; then position the paper so that the mark is even
with the top edge of the plastic ribbon cover. This gives you
an 8.5 mm (0.33 inch) margin on the next page, meaning the
printer starts printing 8.5 mm (0.33 inch) below the
perforation. If you mark a point 8.5 mm (0.33 inch) above the
perforation, you get a 5.5 mm (0.22 inch) margin on the next
page.
6. After you set the top-of-form position, press the Pause button
to exit the Micro Adjust mode.
Advancing the paper to the tear-off edge
If you use the push tractor, 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 that you can
save the paper normally lost between documents.
As described below, you can use the tear-off feature by turning
on the auto tear-off mode.

Caution:
Never use the tear-off feature (as described below) to feed
continuous paper with labels backwards; they may come off their
backing sheet and jam the printer.
