Choosing A Forms Path For Your Needs - IBM 4247 A00 User Manual

Figure 17. 4247 Printer Forms Paths
For the Dual Push forms paths or the Push Pull forms path, you will need to have
ordered and installed the optional, second forms tractor. Also consider ordering the
optional printer stand (see "Optional Printer Stand" on page 32). Contact your IBM
marketing representative for details or to order either item.

Choosing a Forms Path for Your Needs

Note: IBM recommends that whenever possible you use the Front Push forms path
You might select a forms path based on other operating needs. Use the following
table when you are selecting a path. See "Chapter 8. Supplies, Forms, and Cables"
