Using different
types of paper
You can use any of the following types of paper with
your LC24-30 Colour printer: single sheets, fanfold
paper and multi-part
forms.
Single sheets are individual,
unconnected
pieces of
paper. They are also referred to as cut sheets. Up to
fifty-five single sheets can be stacked in the paper tray
and fed automatically
into the printer.
You can load single sheets into the printer in either por-
trait (upright) or landscape
(widthwise)
orientation,
pro-
vided that the width of the paper does not exceed 11".
See Chapter 3 for a description
of how to load single
sheet paper.
Fanfold forms are sheets of paper joined with perfora-
tions. Fanfold forms usually have a column of holes
punched into each edge which enables the printer to
grip the paper as it is fed through. Fanfold paper is also
sometimes
referred to as computer paper, continuous
forms or sprocket forms. If you want to use fanfold
paper, you will need to install the optional push tractor
unit (FT-1OQ). Installation
of the push tractor unit is
described on page 72 of Chapter 5.
When using fanfold paper, be careful not to print too
close to the perforations
at the top and bottom of each
sheet. This can cause poor quality output, paper mis-
alignment
or paper jamming.
The recommended
print-
able areas for fanfold paper and for cut sheets are
shown in the diagram on the next page.
See Chapter 5 for a description
of how to load and use
fanfold paper.
Multi-part
forms consist of several sheets, one on top of
another, enabling several copies to be made simulta-
neously. Multi-part
forms may be joined 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.
