Form Tear Off Feature (Continuous-Form Paper Only)
Form Tear Off Feature (Continuous-Form Paper Only)
Caution! Do not use Form Tear Off when printing on labels.
The Form Tear-Off feature allows you to remove a printed continuous-form page without wasting paper. It
does this by automatically advancing the continuous-form paper to the tear bar position when printing
stops.
The printer is shipped with this feature turned off. To activate the feature, you need to enter the Menu
Mode (see Chapter 5) and select a setting other than Off for the Form Tear-Off item under General
Control. Each setting is explained below.
Settings 300 ms, 2 sec & 4 sec
These settings activate the Form Tear-Off feature so that the print paper automatically advances to the
tear bar position shortly after printing stops: the interval between the time the printer stops and the time
the paper advances is determined by the setting you select. When data is received again, the
continuous-form paper will automatically move back down for printing
Note: When running continuous invoices, select the 300 ms setting. The printer will print the invoices
without stopping. If the last invoice does'nt print, add the Form Feed command at the end of the program.
Offline: This setting causes the printer to go offline (deselected) after it moves the paper up to the
tear-off position. The paper will then remain in the tear-off position until you place the printer back on line
by pressing the SELECT button.
In Point of Sale situations, this setting permits you to tear off each individual receipt before the next
receipt is printed.
Settings: 300 ms (ML393PLUS), 2 sec (ML393PLUS), & 4 sec (ML393PLUS)
These settings are similar to the 300 ms/2 sec/4 sec settings above, but are specifically for use with
programs written for the former MICROLINE 393/393C Plus printer. They provide backward compatibility
for those who have replaced their Microline 393/393C Plus printer with the Microline 395/395C.
Note: Some programs, such as high resolution graphics packages, pause occasionally while sending
data to the printer. If the pause lasts more than the selected interval, the paper will advance to the
tear-off position until more data is received. No data will be lost, but this extra paper movement can
cause uneven print registration in graphics. If you have this problem, use the menu to set the Form Tear
Off feature to OFF.
