Note that when setting this value that you may not select a value less than the form currently selected when
Setup was entered, or less than the form currently selected in the “

Setup: FORMS

” menu.

Automatic Scroll Delay

Auto-Scroll

1 Second Delay

Possible Values:

Off, 1* to 15 Second Delay

This item sets the number of seconds to delay before scrolling the top of form to the tear bar when the
printer is idle (no additional data received since the last print operation) and a form boundary (bottom of
the form according to the Form Length setting for the current form) has been reached. If printing finishes
and the form boundary has not been reached, take the printer off line and the

LOAD/FEED

button may be

used to advance the form to the tear bar. This item may also be used to disable Auto-Scroll by setting the
value to

Off

. When disabled, the

LOAD/FEED

button must always be used to advance the form to the tear

bar.

Tear-Off Distance

Tear-Off

0.00 Inches

Possible Values:

0.00* … 9.99 Inches

This item sets the additional distance the paper will advance when scrolling to the tear bar. This allows the
printer to be placed under a slot in a counter and have the tear-off positioned at the counter surface. Leave
the distance set to 0.00 Inches to disable this feature. To set the value, use the

UP/DOWN

ARROW

buttons

to change the value. Holding the buttons will cause the value to change rapidly. The paper will move
accordingly to allow verification of the setting. Note that the setup Menus will not terminate when closing
the lid while in this mode.

Paper Out Fault Action

Paper Out Fault

Finish Page

Possible Values:

Finish Page*, Reprint Page, Break Page

This item selects what action is to be taken when a paper out condition occurs. The action taken for each
of the possible values is described in the following paragraphs.

When

Finish Page

is selected, the printer will attempt to print to the bottom of the page when a normal

paper out condition occurs. Conditions that will prevent this from happening are when the end of paper is
detected too far from the end of the form (the printer assumes there is not a complete page available), when
reverse paper motion is attempted within the last one inch of the form, or when a paper jam occurs. If the
printer is unable to finish printing the page, it will attempt to reprint the page as described below (also refer
to the Reprint Page Size option which follows). Note that if highly precise printing is required in the last 4
inches of the form in the rear feed path, and the last 5¼ inches of the form in the bottom feed path,

Finish Page

may not provide accurate enough paper motion since the form is no longer controlled by

the tractor mechanism.

When

Reprint Page

is selected, the printer will stop printing as soon as the end of paper or a paper

jam condition is detected and the printer will go off line. After a new box of forms is loaded, the printer
will attempt to reprint the current page from the beginning. If the printer is able to reprint the page,

Reprinting Page!

will be displayed when the new form is loaded (the previous partially printed page

should probably be discarded). If the printer is unable to reprint the page, the page will be broken,

Cannot

Reprint - Page Too Large

will be displayed, and printing will resume where it left off

as described in the next paragraph. The printer’s ability to complete the reprint successfully depends on
