Tear Position Adjustment
This category adjusts the tear off position for your forms. You can select either of
the following parameters. See “Checking and Adjusting Tear-Off Position” on
page 25 for the full tear-off adjustment procedure.
v Front Path
v Rear Path
Note: When either tear position (Front Path or Rear Path) is adjusted, you must
adjust the Vertical configuration item in the opposite direction. For example, if
you adjust the tear position to 24, you must adjust the Vertical to -24. See
“Vertical” on page 112.
Front Path
You can adjust the tear position for forms loaded in the Front Push forms path from
-24 to 24 (where each unit is 0.176 mm [1/144 in.]). The default value is 0.
To change or check the Front Path tear position:
1. Press Menu/Enter. The message PRINT OUT=NO displays.
2. Press ↓ and the message TEAR POS. ADJUST displays.
3. Press → and the message FRONT PATH=xxx displays, where xxx can be -24 to 24.
If you want to select a value other than the one displayed, press ← to increment
from 24 to -24 or press → to increment from -24 to 24.
4. To exit from Program Configuration, press ↓ until the message STORE=QUIT
displays. If you want to exit without saving the new value, press Menu/Enter.
If you want to save the new value, press ← or → to select either STORE=SAVE (new
value is stored in NVM) or STORE=CURRENT (new value remains valid until the
printer is powered off (O)). Press Menu/Enter to save the new value.
Once you change the value and save it, press Tear to verify the new tear off
position. If this position is still not where you want it, repeat the above steps to
change the value.
Rear Path
You can adjust the tear position for forms loaded in the Rear Push forms path from
-24 to 24 (where each unit is 0.176 mm [1/144 in.]). The default value is 0.
