Chapter3 Using your printer

The LC24-300 Colour can print on a variety of paper types, as explained below:

Cut sheet paper

The LC24-300 Colour can use single sheets of paper (cut sheets) or letterheaded stationery. Use the friction feed or the optional SF-1ODWautomatic sheet feeder.

Fanfald paper

It can also accept fanfold (continuous) computer statio- nery. Fanfold stationery has the sheets joined together, with perforations between sheets, and holes (“sprocket holes”) along each edge to help the printer grip the paper. You should not print too close to the sprocket holes. Otherwise, you run the risk of jamming the paper in the printer.

Multi-part forms

You can print continuous multi-part forms which are either carbon backed or pressure-sensitive carbonless (NCR), with up to five copies (including the top copy). If you use multi-part forms, we suggest that you feed them through the bottom paper feed slot, as this will help to prevent premature separation of the forms. There should be a difference in thickness of not more than 0.05mm between the side edges.
