The following sizes of cutsheet paper maybe used in the manual feed: A5, A4, A3, A2, Letter, Legal and Executive.

Single or multi-part forms may be fed into the manual cut sheet path. Multi-part forms should be tested by the customer to ensure satisfactory feeding, registration and print quality. Forms for the manual feed must meet the following specifications:

{Form weight can range from 50 gsm (13.3 lbs) to 120 gsm (32 lbs). However, weights less than 75 gsm may be subject to registration problems when print in NLQ mode or graphics. Paper weights outside this range must be tested by the customer for proper operation.

{Form thickness for all parts may range from 0.08 mm (0.003 in.) to 0.64 mm (0.025 in.).

{Form width ranges from 114.3 mm (4.5 in.) to 444.5 mm (17.5 in.)

{Form length ranges from 101.6 mm (4 in.) to 609.6 mm (24 in.)

zAutomatic Sheet Feed

The IBM 4247 Automatic Sheet Feeder provides an operator changeable mechanism for automatic feeding of cut sheets. It includes a stacker and one input bin. The stacker also serves as the output bin for the manual cut sheet input path. Two additional bins may be added for a total of 3 input bins. Each automatic bin holds up to 120 sheets of variable width 80 gsm (20 lb) single-part paper. Multi-part forms (up to 3-part) can also be used. The output stacker holds up to 150 sheets of 80 gsm (20 lb) single-part paper, collated sequence. Bin selection can be controlled by the host system or from the 4247 operator panel. All operator control is from the 4247 operator panel.

Paper meeting the following specifications is acceptable for use in the ASF. All other paper must be tested by the customer for suitable performance.
