The InfoPrint 4247 printer provides exceptional forms-handling flexibility. The base printer
includes one continuous-forms tractor path; a second continuous-forms front tractor paper path
is optional.
This dual front paper path capability can translate into a single printer performing work that
formerly required two or more printers. Users can load different forms into each tractor path and
then enable the path that corresponds to the desired print job.
