Note:
Your tear-off position setting remains in effect until you change it,
even if you turn off the printer.
1. Make sure the Tear Off/Bin light is flashing (the paper is at
the current tear-off position). You may need to press the
Tear Off/Bin button.
2. Hold down the
Pause button for about three seconds. The
Pause light begins flashing and the printer enters the micro
adjust mode.
3. Press the
Load/Eject U and LF/FF D buttons to feed the
paper backward or forward until the paper perforation is
aligned with the tear-off edge of the printer cover.
Note:
The printer has a minimum and a maximum tear-off position. If
you try to adjust the tear-off position beyond these limits, the
printer beeps and stops moving the paper.
4. Press the Pause button to turn off micro adjust mode.
Then tear off the printed pages.
When you resume printing, the printer automatically feeds the
paper back to the top-of-form position and begins printing.

and out of the printer.
