Skip Over Perforation
By changing the setting of DIP switch 2-3, you can set skip over
perforation to on or off. If this feature is on when using continuous
paper, a one-inch margin is provided between the last printable line on
one page and the first printable line on the next page. This feature is
very convenient if your application program does not provide for top
and bottom margins.
If you adjust your loading position correctly, you can get half of the
margin at the bottom of one page and half at the top of the next page,
as shown in the following illustration.

Note: Most application programs take care of top and bottom
margins. Use skip over perforation only if your program does not
provide these margins.
The skip over perforation setting can be set to values other than one

inch by using the ESC N command. See the Command Summary in
