3.3.08 Paper Tear Off
General Information
This feature (when activated) will automatically advance continuous feed paper to the tear-off position
after it finishes printing the last page in the document. A few seconds after the printing stops, the printer
will move the paper up to the tear-off position, aligning the perforation with the serrated edge on the
access cover. The operator will be able to tear off the last printed page without wasting paper or
readjusting the printer. When the printer receives data to print, it will automatically return the paper to the
top of form position for printing.
Paper tear off can only be used with continuous feed paper fed in from the rear on the built-in push tractor.
It cannot be used with the optional pull tractor.
