Setting the Tear Off position
When Auto Tear Off is On or set to One Second, it
moves the top perforation of a continuous form to the
Tear Off position when all of the following are true:
•
The printer has finished printing.
•
The paper has advanced to the Top-Of-Form
on the next page.
•
No data, printer control codes, or escape
codes have been sent to the printer after
advancing to the Top-Of-Form.
•
The print buffer has not received data for
one second.
If you have already set your Top-Of-Form and now want

1
Press Start/Stop to take the printer offline.
2
Press and hold Tear Off until the printer beeps.
3

to move the paper to
the correct position on the Tear Off bar.
5
Close the operator panel cover.
The printer beeps twice.
The paper rolls backward, then goes to the new
Tear Off position.
6
The Ready light is On.
7
Press Start/Stop.
The paper remains at the current Tear Off position until
you send another job to the printer. The paper moves
from the Tear Off position to the Top-Of-Form and
begins printing.
