SELECTION OF PAPER

Your printer accepts any of the following papers:

•Single sheets (cut forms) and stationery

Use the friction feed or the optional Automatic Sheet Feeder.

•Fanfold forms

Fanfold forms have holes along the sides and perforations between the sheets. They are also called sprocket forms, punched forms, or just plain “computer paper”.

Printing on or near the perforations of continuous fanfold forms may reduce printing quality, misalign the fanfold forms, or cause a paper jam. It is recommended not to print within an area of one inch before and after the perforations.

•Multi-part forms

You can use multi-part forms mat have up to five parts including the original when the Multi-part mode is selected with the Memory Switch setting. (For details, please refer to Chapter 6.)

Use pressure sensitive multi-part forms with both side edges glued and a difference in thickness of O.OSmmor less between the side edges. It is recommended to use the bottom feed with the optional Fbll Tractor Unit to get fine alignment.

NOTE: Care should be taken in color printing with continuous multi-part forms. Side edges of paper might be damaged.

•Preprinted forms
