SELECTION OF PAPER
.-
L
Your printer accepts any of the following papers:
l
Single sheets (cut forms) and stationary
Use the friction feed or the optional Automatic Sheet Feeder.
l
Fanfold forms
Fanfold forms have holes along the sides and perforations between the
sheets. They are also called sprocket forms, punched forms, or just plain
"computer paper".
Printing on or near the perforations of continuous fanfold forms may
reduce printing quality, misalign the fanfold forms, or cause a paper jam.
It is recommended not to print within an area of one inch before and after
the perforations.
l
Multi-part forms
You can use multi-part forms that have up to five parts including the
original when the Multi-part mode is selected with the EDS setting. (For
details, please refer to Chapter 6.)
Use pressure sensitive multi-part forms with both side edges glued and a
difference in thickness of 0.05mm or less between the side edges.
It is recommended to use the bottom feed with the optional Pull Tractor
Unit to get fine alignment.
NOTE : Care should be taken in color printing with continuous multi-part
forms. Side edges of paper might be damaged.
