Form Evenness

The evenness of the form = ________

(Not to exceed 0.003 in. / 0.00762 cm)

Tenting due to buildup of perforation thickness must be minimized. A perforation thickness measured at the major perforation that exceeds 1.25 times the forms thickness measured in the print area will result in an unreliable and unpredictable form. Perforation thickness must not exceed the maximum form thickness of 0.025 in. / 0.0635 cm.

Tractor Pin Holes

The holes which engage the tractor pins must conform to the following specifications:

Hole centerline (CL) to edge of form

0.236 ± 0.028

Methods Of Forms Attachment

________

Must not allow air entrapment between copies of the form

________

Must not use hard brads or staples

________

Must not coincide with major perforation or any horizontal

 

perforation

________

Gluing lines must not result in a form that exceeds 0.025 in. /

 

0.0635 cm thickness

________

Staples must be used only in margin area of form

________

Staple cuts must not be in the direction of form movement

 

through the tractors

________

Staples must not occur in-line with the path of the tractor holes

________

Staples should be placed in the margins so that they coincide

 

with areas of the form where printing will not occur
