DMP 250 (26-2886)           Tear-Off Feature           Faxback Doc. # 4226

In the push tractor mode, the perforation tear-off feature makes it easier 
to tear off a printed sheet at the perforation at the end of a printing 
job.

An application program usually sends a FF (form feed) code at the end of a
page. If the FF code is followed by no data, the printer advances the
paper perforation to a position directly under the tear edge of the top
cover (tear off position) so you can easily tear off the printed sheet.

If printing ends in the middle of a page because no FF code is received
from the application software, press ON LINE to set the printer off line.
Then press LF/FF for more than two seconds. The paper advances to the
tear-off position.

When the printer receives data after a page has been torn off, it retracts
the paper to the TOF (top-of-form) position automatically, so no paper
will be wasted.

Notes:

°   If you are using non-standard paper, the tear-off position might not 
    be correct. In this case, change the form length setting in the 
    printer.

°   Occasionally, you might not want the paper to automatically advance to 
    the paper tear-off position.  You can turn off this feature by
    changing TEAR OFF to OFF in the setup menu.
