Figure 35. Setting The Tear Off Position
The ZT printer uses the tear bar as the reference point for setting the tear off
position. To set the position of the forms perforation to the tear bar, use the
SET TOF button as follows:
1. Make sure the paper guides are adjusted correctly and the paper is
properly loaded.
2. Press the SET TOF button on the control panel. The printer display will
read “Align at TearBar/Then Press TOF”.
3. Use the form advance knob to move the top of the form to the tear off bar.
4. Position the perforation so it aligns with the tear off bar.
NOTE: This is easily done by advancing one complete sheet above the tear
off bar and folding it over at the perforation.
5. Position the fold exactly at the tear bar.
6. Tear the sheet off to ensure proper positioning.
NOTE: If you do not want to lose a form, position the top of the form at the
tear bar. Run a finger along the back of the form along the tear bar to
ensure the perforation is presented at the tear off point.
7. Press the SET TOF button again. The printer display will read “Top Of
Form Set/Press ONLINE”. The printer will then be brought OFFLINE and
the top of form will be set.
8. Press the ONLINE/CLEAR key to bring the printer online.
