The printer is designed to use edge-punched (sprocket-fed) fanfold paper.
See diagram below. Multipart forms should be free of staples or stitching
and preferably held together with glue or self-crimping techniques. They
need to be of uniform thickness from side-to-side. In the case of special
forms and gummed labels. it is best to consult your forms supplier for
help in selecting the best forms construction and to try a sample to
ensure satisfactory operation. The chart on the next page lists forms that
should provide satisfactory performance.
Paper widths from 3 inches (76.2mm) to 16.54 inches (420.1mm) and
form lengths from 0.33 inch (8.4mm) to 22 inches (559mm) can be
accommodated. Fanfolds between 6 and 12 inches (15.2 and 30.5cm)
apart are recommended.
NOTE:
High humidity may cause unsatisfactory paper feeding and
handling. Low humidity may cause static buildup. Make sure you test
how well the forms feed under various ambient conditions. Some recycled
papers have a higher content of dust and debris. which may require more
frequent cleaning of the printer.
The most satisfactory performance from the printer can be achieved with
paper of the recommended weights as shown below.
