Using multi-part forms
You can use multi-part (carbonless) forms with up to six sheets,
including the original, on the rear tractor. On the front tractor,
you can use forms with up to seven sheets.
You load continuous multi-part forms the same way you load
any other type of continuous paper. Before loading multi-part
forms, however, make sure the paper has a clean straight edge
and does not separate or tear apart. For instructions, see the
sections on loading paper earlier in this chapter.
When you use the paper memory feature described in
Chapter 4, the DFX-8500 can print on multi-part forms that
vary in thickness, such as forms with labels on them or forms
that overlap slightly where they are glued together. These
forms are thicker in the label area and in the places where they
overlap or are joined together, as shown below.

Caution:
Be sure to use the paper memory feature before you print on
multi-part forms that vary in thickness. See “Using the Paper
Memory Feature” in Chapter 4 for instructions.
When you print on these forms, make sure that the printing fits
within the printable area and that the top-of-form position is
set properly. For more information about the printable area, see
the section on paper specifications in Appendix A.
