Paper criteria
Notes:
Continuous Forms
1. Test forms less than 152.4 mm (6 in.) in length or width for satisfactory stacking. These forms may require additional operator
attention.
2. For optimum performance, restrict the printable area to be within 6.4 mm (0.25 in.) from all edges, holes, or folds on the forms.
3. Some multiple-part forms (such as mailers or forms with thick/heavy perforations) may cause problems when using the Park
function. Try the forms first. To minimize parking problems, discuss your needs with your forms supplier when selecting forms.
4. IBM does not recommend continuous forms with adhesive labels.
5. To prevent the separation of labels from continuous forms when using the Eject or Park keys, set FRONT FORMS BACkUP=DISABLED
or REAR FORMS BACKUP=DISABLED in the Power On Configuration menu.
Making this configuration change does the following:
v Disables the Eject key tear-off function
v Modifies how the Park key works for forms in the front or rear forms paths. You can not back up the forms to park them.
Break the forms at the perforation before they enter the printer. Press Park twice, and the forms will move forward until
ejected from the printer.
6. Black-back forms can not be used in the rear tractor. They can only be used in the front tractor.
