Caution:
❏
Never use the tear-off feature to reverse-feed labels; they
may come off their backing and jam the printer.
❏
The tear-off feature can be used only when paper is
mounted on the front or rear push tractor.
❏
Never reverse-feed continuous paper when using the pull
(top) tractor; the paper could come off the pull (top) tractor
and jam the printer.
Using auto tear-off mode
When you select the auto tear-off mode default setting, the printer
advances continuous paper to the tear-off position when you
finish printing.
The printer advances paper to the tear-off position only when the
printer receives a full page of data or a form-feed command and
no more data is received for three seconds.
Select tear-off using the Default Setting mode as described earlier
in this chapter. Also make sure the page length for continuous
paper is selected correctly in the Default Setting mode. Be sure you
turn off the printer to exit from the Default Setting mode, and then
turn it on again.
1.
Print on continuous paper loaded on the front or rear push
tractor (as described in Chapter 2). When you finish printing,
the printer advances the perforation of the final printed page
to the tear-off position.
2.
Tear off all printed pages.
