Additional Forms for Point-of-Sale Printer Model 3 or 4
The following specifications apply to forms that may be used for document insertion:
Table A-4. Specifications – Document Insert Forms for Models 3 and 4 Printer
Form Specifications
Single-part form 216 mm x 330 mm (8.5 in. x 13 in.) is the recommended maximum.
82.5 mm x 69.9 mm (3.25 in. x 2.75 in.) is the recommended minimum.
69.9 mm (2.75 in.) is the minimum width for check franking.
Multi-part form 216 mm x 330 mm (8.5 in. x 13 in.) is the recommended maximum.
82.5 mm x 69.9 mm (3.25 in. x 2.75 in.) is the recommended minimum.
Multi-part Forms for Point-of-Sale Printer Model 3 or 4:
Multi-part forms may be used in
the document insertion station. The maximum form thickness is 0.47 mm (0.0185 in.) when inserted into
the front of the printer and 0.25 mm (0.010 in.) when inserted into the top of the printer. The front sheet
should not exceed 0.08 mm (0.003 in.) in thickness. If the multi-part form contains card stock, the card
stock must be the last copy and not exceed 0.2 mm (0.008 in.) in thickness. Also, the sheets of a
multi-part form should be the same size; not uneven or stepped.
Form Design
¹
Print on blank areas of the form. If printing is done inside boxes on the form, the boxes should be
three characters high and the margins should be three characters wide to allow for printer tolerances
and operator variances.
¹
Forms should allow for some amount of alignment error.
¹
The form layout should have the loose edge of the form going into the printer first.
– Sometimes the operator bends the binding along the perforation line. Ensure that the forms are
flat.
– Sometimes forms are produced with a defective or marginal binding. The leading edge on the
form causes most of the problems.
¹
Use a top margin of 29 mm or 1.14 in. or larger. This allows the operator to see the form exit the top
cover before printing starts. The operator can open the top cover to stop the printer and clear out the
jam before any printing occurs.
¹
Order the form without holes or openings. For example, tractor feed holes sometimes get dislodged
inside the printer and turn on the DI sensors. Sometimes the sensors cannot sense the form because
it is looking through a hole.
¹
No staples or metal inserts should be used on any area of the forms that are inserted into the machine
and no holes or openings are allowed on the forms or their fastenings.
