Multipart forms

You can use continuous or shingle-sheet carbonless multipart forms of up to four parts (one original plus three copies). Before you print on the forms, set the paper thickness lever as described in the previous section. The following tips will help you get good results:

❏Use only continuous multipart forms that are joined by spot gluing or side-crimping. Never load continuous multipart forms joined by metal staples, tape, or continuous gluing.

❏Use only single-sheet multipart forms that are line-glued only at the top. Insert the forms glued edge first into the printer.

❏Use only multipart forms that are free of wrinkles and waves.

❏If you need to adjust the loading position, use your application software or change the loading position as described on “Adjusting the top-of-form position” on page 2-22.

❏When you use side-crimped continuous multipart forms, the copies may not align with the original. If this happens, raise the paper guide.

Labels

You must use the tractor as a pull tractor and load paper from the bottom paper slot to print on labels. Before you print on labels, set the paper thickness lever as described in “Adjusting the paper- thickness lever” on page 2-28.Keep the following tips in mind:

❏Choose labels mounted on a continuous backing sheet with sprocket holes made for use with a tractor. Do not print labels as single sheets, because the shiny backing sheet almost always slips slightly.
