PAPER INSTALLATION AND USE

This chapter describes instructions for printing such as selecting paper types, adjusting the printing gap, and installing paper.

SELECTION OF PAPER

You can use any of the following types of paper with your printer: single sheets, fanfold paper and multi-part forms.

●Single sheets (cut forms) and stationery

Single sheets are simply individual, unconnected pieces of paper, and are also sometimes referred to as cut sheets.

Up to fifty single sheets can be stacked and automatically fed into the printer by using the optional Automatic Sheet Feeder (SF-15DJ).

✎Fanfold forms

Fanfold forms are sheets of paper joined with perforations. Fanfold forms usually have a column of holes punched into each edge which enables the printer to grip the paper as it feeds it through. Fanfold paper is also sometimes referred to as computer paper, continuous forms or sprocket forms.

You can feed the fanfold forms from the rear of the printeras standard. You can aim use the optional Pull tractor unit (PT- 15XJ)to feed fanfold paper. Printing on or near the perforations of continuous fanfold forms may reduce printing quality, misalign the fanfold forms, or cause a paper jam.

✎Multi-part forms

Multi-part forms consist of several sheets, one on top of another, enabling several copies to be made simultaneously. Multi-part forms may bejoined together, as fanfold stationery. If you want to use multi-part forms, use the type that has both side edges glued together. Do not use forms that have more than three parts.

It is recommended that you load multi-part forms using the optional Pull tractor unit.

Figure 3-1 shows the recommended print area for each type of paper.
