Setting The Tear Off Position
When Auto Tear Off is on, or set to One Second, it moves the top
perforation of a continuous form to the tear off position, when all of
the following are true:
The printer has finished printing.
The paper has advanced to the Top-Of-Form on the next page.
No data, printer control codes, or escape codes have been sent
to the printer after advancing to the Top-Of-Form.
The print buffer has not received data for one second.
If you have already set Top-Of-Form and now want to change the
tear off bar position, follow these steps:
1. Press Start/Stop to take the printer offline.
2. Press and hold Tear Off until the printer beeps.
3. Open the operator panel cover to access layer two.
4. Press Micro
or Micro to move the paper to the correct
position on the tear off bar.
5. Close the operator panel cover. The printer beeps twice. The
paper rolls backward, then goes to the new tear off position. The
Ready light is on.
The paper remains at the current Tear Off position until you send
another job to the printer. The paper moves from the tear off position
to the Top-Of-Form and begins printing.

Setting Top-Of-Form (Continuous - Pull Mode)
1. Turn the printer on. The Paper Out light blinks if no paper is
loaded.
2. Move the paper select lever down to the continuous forms
position.
3. Load continuous form paper on the pull tractor feed pins.
4. Open the operator panel cover to access layer two.
5. Press any paper movement button
(LineFeed, Micro
or Micro ) to move the paper to the Top-
Of-Form position.
6. Use the second sheet of continuous forms to set Top-Of-Form.
7. Press Set TOF to set and save Top-Of-Form.
8. Close the operator panel cover. Top-Of-Form is not saved if the
printer is turned off, or runs out of paper when the printer is in
pull tractor mode.
9. Press Start/Stop to set the printer online.
Setting Top-Of-Form (Cut Forms - Envelopes)
Top-Of-Form can range from minus 1 to plus 22 inches from the top
of cut sheet paper. To set and save Top-Of-Form:
1. Turn the printer on. The Paper Out light blinks if no paper is
loaded. If the Paper Out light is off, tear off excess forms and
press Load/Unload. If an individual form is loaded, press
FormFeed to clear the paper path.
2. Move the paper select lever up to the cut forms position.
3. Load a cut sheet of paper or envelope through the manual feed
door. The printer moves the paper or envelope to the current
Top-Of-Form, if Auto Cut Sheet is set to on. If not, press
FormFeed when the Paper Out light goes off.
4. Open the operator panel cover to access layer two.
5. Press any paper movement button
(LineFeed, Micro
↑, or Micro ) to align with the horizontal lines
(located on the platen) with the Top-Of-Form you want.
6. Press Set TOF to set and save Top-Of-Form.
7. Close the operator panel cover.
8. Press Start/Stop to set the printer online.

Diagnostic Information 2-1
24xx
2. Diagnostic Information
Start
Make a quick visual check for defects (loose or broken parts,
unplugged connectors, paper jams, and so on).
Voltage, Ground, And Continuity Readings
Voltage Readings
All DC voltages must be within +5% through -10% of the values to
be considered correct. Unless stated otherwise, all connectors
should be connected normally when a voltage measurement is
performed.
When a Line Voltage measurement is to be performed, the voltage
on United States and Canada printers should be between 100 V ac
and 127 V ac. On World Trade printers, the voltage is according to
each countrys specification.
Ground Checks
To check for a correct ground, measure the voltage between the
ground and a known good voltage source. The voltage
measurement must be the same as the source voltage to consider
that the ground is correct. Continuity measurements may be used to
check grounds, however, be sure to measure to a known good
ground using the lowest ohms scale and check for zero ohms.
CAUTION: Always unplug the power cord before doing any
continuity measurement.
Continuity Readings
When measuring continuity, be sure no back circuits affect the
measurement. If necessary, unplug connectors to remove any back
circuits. Zero the ohm range on the lowest scale (X1). An open
circuit will read infinity. A circuit with correct continuity will read zero
ohms.
