The LINE FEED/LOAD button lets you advance or load
paper when the printer is off line. To feed your paper
one line, press this button once. Hold the button down
to feed paper continuously.
To load paper, there must be paper loaded in the
standby position in the selected tractor. See the sections
on loading paper in Chapter 2 for more information.
The TEAR OFF button feeds the paper to the printer’s
tear-off edge so you can tear off your document without
losing the paper normally lost between printing jobs. To
use this feature, take the printer off line after your
document has finished printing and press the TEAR OFF
button. The printer feeds the paper to the printer’s
tear-off edge. After tearing off the document, press the
TEAR OFF or ON LINE button to feed the paper back to the
top of form position.
If the perforation of your paper does not align exactly
with the printer’s tear-off edge, you can use the MICRO
FEED buttons to adjust the tear-off position. See the
section on using automatic tear-off in Chapter 2.
