Chapter 3. Functional Areas
This chapter describes the forms path of the printer. It also provides a graphic
overview of the functional areas of the printer, which include:
v
Advanced Function Common Control (AFCCU) area
– Operator alert area
– Power control panel
– Display Touch Screen
Keep In Mind:
1.
The AFCCU is physically attached to a simplex printer or Printer 2 in a
duplex or dual simplex configuration.
2.
The Printer Utility Module (PUM) is physically attached to Printer 1 in a
duplex or dual simplex configuration. Except for a Display Touch Screen, the
PUM is identical to an AFCCU frame from your perspective.

Forms and the Forms Path
Form refers to pages on which the printer can print. Forms can be blank paper,
preprinted paper, adhesive labels, cards, or any other printable material that meets
the required specifications. Paper is a specific fiber-based material that is used for
forms.
The term forms path refers to the entire route that forms travel while they are being
processed. The forms path begins in the forms input area and ends in the stacker
area. Figure 1 on page 16 shows the forms path for a simplex printer and the major
elements within the printer engine. Note that the path looks a bit different if you
use preprocessing or postprocessing devices attached to your printer.
