light is on.
2. While holding down the ALT button, press the LOAD/EJECT
button to move the tear-off position down on the page, or
press the LF/FF button to move the tear-off position up on the -.
page. The printer remembers the new tear-off position even
after the printer is turned off.

paper back to the loading position and begins printing.
Note:
l
The printer has a minimum and a maximum tear-off
position. If you try to advance the tear-off position beyond
the limits, the printer beeps and the paper stops moving.
l
When the paper reaches the factory-set tear-off position, the
printer beeps and paper feeding pauses briefly. Use the
factory setting as a reference point when you adjust the
tear-off position.
