My printer always asks 'Prevent paper tearing enabled, do you want to continue'. What's bad with that?

0

Everytime I print, on my Canon MG5300, it asks 'Prevent paper tearing is enabled, do you want to continue?'. And overtime I wonder "So, why is that bad and why should you warn me?".

I'm getting sick of that question- but as it seems as a positive thing and there isn't an option to disable the warning, besides turning the feature off, I accept the warning and keep it enabled.

Can you guys give advice whether 'Prevent paper tearing enabled' is bad or not- and whether I keep it enabled or rather turn it off.

Thanks

I tried to look at the user manual but the manual is in the form of a program that must be installed in Windows. Can you describe what the manual says the feature does or what condition triggers the message? – fixer1234 – 2015-02-12T20:38:10.793

Checkin' - Updating this comment in a sec.. If possible :) – Sander Schaeffer – 2015-02-12T20:38:49.797

Update: Ok, besides having to install a program to view a file which sucks.. The program doesn't find anything relevant when searching on 'tearing' just as on the display. So.. Nothing in the manual. – Sander Schaeffer – 2015-02-12T20:44:36.017

1One place you might find information is to contact Canon tech support and ask them. On the lighter side, I did a Google search on the issue and got one hit--your question. So apparently, you are the expert. – fixer1234 – 2015-02-12T21:03:09.123
