Loading Multipart Forms

You can use carbonless multipart forms of up to five parts (four

copies in addition to the original). Make sure you set the paper

thickness lever to the proper position based on the number of

layers in your form.

For best results with thick paper, such as multipart forms, select

a straight or almost straight paper path. It is best to load multipart

forms using the front or bottom slot and the pull tractor.

Except for setting the paper thickness lever, you load multipart

forms the same way you load ordinary continuous paper. For

details, see the sections on loading continuous paper earlier in this

chapter.

Note:

❏

Be sure your multipart forms do not exceed 0.39 mm (0.015 inch)

in thickness for the printable area and 0.76 mm (0.030 inch) for the

perforated edges.

❏

Do not load paper that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled.

❏

If you are using crimp bound paper, be sure the protruding side of

the crimp faces away from the print head when you print. Hitting

the crimp protrusion with print head could severely damage the

print head.
