3.5 Tear Off Adjustment

In a demand document application, the form will be advanced to a tear off position when
the Tear Off key is pressed. When the forms are in this position, the last printed form may
be removed by pulling the perforation against the tear edge of the cover.
If the perforation does not come to rest at the tear edge, the tear off distance may be
adjusted as follows:

1. Press the Tear Off key. The form should move up to the current tear location.

2. Using the Adjust  key or the Adjust  key, move the paper until the perforation

is located at the desired tear off position

3. Press the Tear Off key. The form will return to the current print position.

4. This adjustment affects the Tear Distance feature and is automatically saved in

memory for the current profile and will be applied when forms are reloaded.

3-14

NOTE

By adjusting the tear distance to a large
value, the form can be fed through a
countertop, for example, if the printer is
located under a counter.

NOTE

For cut sheet units, to avoid excessive
opening and closing of the top exit cover
when alternating between short cut sheet
forms and continuous tractor forms,
adjust the tear off distance to the
secondary tear bar (metal edge located
immediately above top rollers) by using
this procedure. (The value will be about
1-40/144 inches.)

NOTE

The function of the Tear Off key is
affected by the Manual Tear feature
located in the Forms Control Menu.
Refer to Chapter 4 for a description of
this feature.
