Notes:
Continuous Forms
1. Test forms less than 152.4 mm (6 in.) in length or width for satisfactory stacking. These forms may require
additional operator attention.
2. For optimum performance, restrict the printable area to be within 6.4 mm (0.25 in.) from all edges, holes, or
folds on the forms.
3. Some multiple-part forms (such as mailers, thick/heavy perforations) may cause problems when using the Park
function. Try the forms first. To minimize parking problems, discuss your needs with your forms supplier when
selecting forms.
4. IBM does not recommend continuous forms with adhesive labels.
5. To prevent the separation of labels from continuous-forms when using the Tear or Park keys, set FRONT
TEAR=NO or REAR TEAR=NO in the Power On Configuration menu. Making this configuration change does
the following:
v
Disables the Tear key tear-off function
v
Modifies how the Park key works for forms in the Front Push and Rear Push forms paths. You cannot back
up the forms to park them. Break the forms at a perforation before they enter the printer. Press Park twice,
and the forms will move forward until ejected from the printer.
6. Black-back forms cannot be used in these forms paths. They can only be used in the Rear Push, Manual Sheet
Feed, and Auto Sheet Feed (bins 1, 2, and 3) forms paths.
Cut-Sheet Forms
7. The following sizes of cut-sheet forms may be used in the Manual Sheet Feed forms path: A5, A4, A3, A2, Letter,
Legal, Executive.
8. For optimum performance, restrict printing to 12.7 mm (0.5 in.) from all edges, holes, or folds on the forms.
9.
The term length applies to the forms dimension parallel to the forms motion.

Rear Push Forms Path Recommendations
The plies of multi-part forms used in the rear push forms path must be
well-fastened along the margin strips. The plies can be glued with a line of glue or
with rows of glue dots in both margin strips. If gluing is not used, a complete
crimp lock should securely stake the plies. The margin strips can still be
perforated.
