Note: If the paper-thickness lever is set to the second position above, the MULTI-PARTlight comes on and print speed is reduced.

Multi-part forms

You can use carbonless multi-part forms of up to four parts (including the original). Make sure you set the paper-thickness lever to the proper position described in the table above.

Except for the paper-thickness setting, you load multi-part paper the same way as ordinary paper. For details, see the sections on loading continuous paper and loading single sheets earlier in this chapter. Pay special attention to setting the top-of-form position.

CAUTION: Do not load individual multi-part forms from the top. Use the front loading slot instead. Be sure that the multi-part forms do not exceed 0.32 mm (0.0128 inches) in thickness.
