Loading Multi-Part Forms

You can use carbonless multi-part forms of up to six parts (five copies in addition to the original). Make sure you set the paper thickness lever to the proper position based on the number of 2 layers in your form.

For best results with thick paper such as multi-part forms, select a straight or almost straight paper path. It is best to load multi- part forms using:

❏the front slot and the front push tractor

❏the front or bottom slot and the pull tractor

Except for setting the paper thickness lever, you load multi-part forms the same way you load ordinary continuous paper. For details, see the sections on loading continuous paper later in this chapter.

Note:

❏Be sure your multi-part forms do not exceed 0.46 mm (0.018 inch) in thickness for the printable area and up to 0.9 mm (0.035 inch) for the perforated edges.

❏Use multi-part forms only under normal temperature and humidity conditions, as follows:

Temperature

15 to 25°C (59 to 77°F)

Humidity

30 to 60% RH

❏Do not load paper that is damaged, curled or wrinkled.

Loading Continuous Paper With Labels

When printing on labels, use only the type of labels that are mounted on continuous backing sheets with sprocket holes for use with a tractor feeder. Do not try to print on single sheets with labels because the printer may not feed labels on a shiny backing sheet properly.
