If you run many multipart pages on the rear push path and find the registration
different from the front to the back plies, check the following:
v
Verify alignment of the pre-printed forms.
v
Check for form ’shingling.’ That is, check to see if the back plies are sliding
relative to the top plies. This can happen if plies are not securely fastened. If this
is occurring on your forms, consider using glued forms.

Forms Stack Input and Output Locations
Depending on which forms path you are using, see the diagrams on the following
pages for ways to stack input and output forms for your printer.
For satisfactory stacking results, the distance from the printer stand to the floor
should be 736 to 762 mm (29 to 30 in.) and the distance between the shelf and the
floor should be 381 mm (15 in.). IBM offers an optional printer stand for your 4247
Printer. For more information on this printer stand, contact your IBM marketing
