Flexible Forms Handling:
The IBM 4247 Printer provides exceptional forms handling flexibility with one continuous form tractor
path and manual cutsheet being standard. Another continuous forms tractor may be added to provide
two continuous forms paper paths. The second path may be used by simply tearing off and parking
the paper from the first path. Another forms handling option allows for up to 3 bins of cutsheet paper
in an automatic sheet feed (ASF).
For customers, this remarkable forms handling flexibility can translate into a single printer performing
work which formerly required two printers or more. Customers can load different forms into each
tractor path and then enable the path which corresponds to the desired print job. Alternatively, the
tractor paths can be parked to allow the use of the ASF or manual cut sheet functions.
