Loading Multipart Forms
You can use carbonless multipart forms of up to five parts (four
copies in addition to the original). Make sure you set the paper
thickness lever to the proper position based on the number of
layers in your form.
For best results with thick paper such as multipart forms, select a
straight or almost straight paper path. It is best to load multipart
forms using:
❏
the front slot and the front push tractor (optional)
❏
the front or bottom slot and the pull tractor (optional)
Except for setting the paper thickness lever, you load multipart
forms the same way you load ordinary continuous paper. For
details, see the sections on loading continuous paper earlier in this
chapter.
Note:
❏
Be sure your multipart forms do not exceed 0.39 mm (0.015 in.) in
thickness for the printable area and 0.9 mm (0.035 in.) for the
perforated edges.
❏
Use multipart forms only under normal temperature and humidity
conditions, as follows:
Temperature 15 to 25°C (59 to 77°F)
Humidity 30 to 60% RH
❏
Do not load paper that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled.
Loading Continuous Paper With Labels
When printing on labels, use only the type of labels that are
mounted on continuous backing sheets with sprocket holes for
use with a tractor feeder. Do not try to print on single sheets with
labels because the printer may not feed labels on a shiny backing
sheet properly.
