Choosing a Forms Path For Special Forms
Note: IBM recommends that you use the Front Push forms path whenever
possible. A second choice is the Rear Push forms path.
The 4247 Printer can print on various sizes, dimensions, and weights of forms. IBM
recommends that you test all forms for your application before ordering large
quantities. Use the following table when you are choosing which path to use for
special forms or paper.
