Tearing Off Continuous Forms
Your printer has a special “tear-off edge” that allows you to tear off printed pages
without wasting paper. The tear-off edge is located on the ejection cover.
To tear off continuous forms using the tear-off edge:
1. Press the FF/Load button. The bottom perforation of the last page advances to
the tear-off edge. If you specified TEAR: AUTO using the INSTALL function
in setup mode, the paper automatically advances to the tear-off edge at the end of
each job (or when the printer has printed all the data received).
NOTE: If the bottom perforation of your paper is not positioned at the tear-off edge,
the length of your paper may not be specified correctly in your software or
the printer setup mode. Check that the paper length is specified correctly.
For information on specifying page length using setup mode, see Chapter 5,
“Using Set-Up Mode”.
2. Tear the paper off at the perforation.
