Forms specifications
The A776 prints on single or multiple part forms in the slip station (up to four-part forms). Forms and slips must meet the following
requirements:
Front insertion (minimum)
51 mm (2 inches) wide
68 mm (2.68 inches) long
Side insertion (minimum)
51 mm (2 inches) wide
203 mm (8 inches) long
Single-ply forms should be on paper that is greater than 15 pounds
Multiple-part forms (up to four parts) should be no thicker than 0.40 mm (0.014”) and a minimum thickness of 0.08 mm (0.003”).
CAUTION
Do not use forms containing holes along the top or right edge.
Forms for use with flip check (minimum) 70 mm
(2.75 inch) wide 152 mm (6 inch) long
The slip form should be flat and without curls or
wrinkles, especially at the top.
Considerations for glued edges on slip paper:
No glue on bottom edge.
Right or top edge: Paper feeding and
insertion are affected by gluing method,
length of edge, and quality of glue used.
Left edge or wide slip paper: Skewing may
occur.

The Slip sensors that activate the slip-in light use a reflective photo sensor.
Do not use paper that has holes or dark areas with low reflection (less than 60% reflection) at the slip sensor
location. (Area “A” in the illustration above.)
Thin paper should be used between the top and bottom sheets of multi-part paper. Thick paper reduces the copy
capability.
For best print quality on the bottom sheets of multipart forms, use the double-strike mode.
If any part in a multipart form exceeds .003 inches in thickness, the remaining parts may be unreadable.
