Forms Handling

Pedestal models provide access to printed forms either from the tear-at-perforation edge on the top cover or the cover is
adjusted so the forms exit from the rear of the printer. Pedestal models also have a wireform paper tray attached to the front of
the pedestal and a wireform catch basket attached to the rear of the pedestal.
Cabinet models can be equipped with three types of paper stacking device. The simplest is a fixed paper fence used in
combination with the paper guide chains that come on all cabinet models. The paper fence is a wireform divider that separates
the source paper stack from the printed output stack. For improved performance at higher throughputs, the guide chains are
used with a moveable fence called the "passive stacker," which can be adjusted to match the form's length. For more
demanding applications, an optional power stacker is available for the 1500 and 2000 lpm cabinet models. This information is
summarized in Table 2. For more information about the power stacker, refer to Appendix E on page 451.
