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.
