Loading Multi-Part Forms
You can use carbonless multi-part forms of up to six parts (five
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 multi-part forms, select
a straight or almost straight paper path. It is best to load multi-
part forms using:
the front slot and the front push tractor
the front or bottom slot and the pull tractor
Except for setting the paper thickness lever, you load multi-part
forms the same way you load ordinary continuous paper. For
details, see the sections on loading continuous paper later in this
chapter.
Note:
Be sure your multi-part forms do not exceed 0.46 mm (0.018 inch)
in thickness for the printable area and up to 0.9 mm (0.035 inch) for
the perforated edges.
Use multi-part forms only under normal temperature and humidity
conditions, as follows:
Temperature 15 to 25°C (59 to 77°F)
Humidity 30 to 60% RH
Do not load paper that is damaged, curled or wrinkled.
Loading Continuous Paper With Labels
When printing on labels, use only the type of labels that are
mounted on continuous backing sheets with sprocket holes for
use with a tractor feeder. Do not try to print on single sheets with
labels because the printer may not feed labels on a shiny backing
sheet properly.
