Advancing the Paper to the Tear-Off Edge
If you are using the tractor in the front or rear push position,
you can use the tear-off feature to advance your continuous
paper to the printer’s tear-off edge when you finish printing.
You can then easily tear off the printed document. When you
resume printing, the printer automatically feeds the paper back
to the top-of-form position so that you can save the paper
normally lost between documents.
As described below, you can use the tear-off feature in two
ways: manually by pressing the printer’s
Tear Off/Bin
button
or automatically by turning on auto tear-off mode. The Tear
Off/Bin light flashes when the paper is in the tear-off position.
If the perforation between pages is not aligned with the tear-off
edge, you can adjust the position of the perforation using the
micro adjust feature, as described on page 3-38.

Caution:
q
Never use the tear-off feature with the pull tractor; the
paper may come off the pull tractor and jam the printer.
After you finish printing, tear off the printed document at
the perforation nearest the paper exit slot.
q
Never use the tear-off feature to feed labels backward; they
may come off their backing sheet and jam the printer.
Using the Tear Off/Bin button
After the printer finishes printing your document, press the
Tear Off/Bin
button to advance the paper to the tear-off edge.
