Multi-part forms

Your printer can print on both single-sheet and continuous multi-
part forms. You can load single-sheet multi-part forms only in the
front paper slot.
You can use multi-part forms of up to four parts (including the
original). Make sure you set the paper-thickness lever to the proper
position. Use only carbonless multi-part forms.
You load multi-part forms the same way as you load single sheets
or continuous paper. For best results with continuous multi-part
forms, it is recommended you use the tractor installed in the push-
tractor position together with the optional pull tractor.
For details, see Using Single Sheets or Loading continuous paper
with the pull tractor earlier in this chapter. Pay special attention to
setting the loading position as described in Using micro-feed in
Chapter 3.
