Notes:
Continuous Forms
1. Test forms less than 152.4 mm (6 in.) in length or width for satisfactory stacking. These forms may require
additional operator attention.
2. For optimum performance, restrict the printable area to be within 6.4 mm (0.25 in.) from all edges, holes, or folds
on the forms.
3. Some multiple-part forms (such as mailers, thick/heavy perforations) may cause problems when using the Park
function. Try the forms first. To minimize parking problems, discuss your needs with your forms supplier when
selecting forms.
4. IBM does not recommend continuous forms with adhesive labels.
5. To prevent the separation of labels from continuous-forms when using the Tear or Park keys, set FRONT
TEAR=NO or REAR TEAR=NO in the Power On Configuration menu. Making this configuration change does the
following:
v Disables the Tear key tear-off function
v Modifies how the Park key works for forms in the Front Push and Rear Push forms paths. You cannot back up
the forms to park them. Break the forms at a perforation before they enter the printer. Press Park twice, and
the forms will move forward until ejected from the printer.
6. Black-back forms cannot be used in these forms paths. They can only be used in the Rear Push, Manual Sheet
Feed, and Auto Sheet Feed (bins 1, 2, and 3) forms paths.
Cut-Sheet Forms
7. The following sizes of cut-sheet forms may be used in the Manual Sheet Feed forms path: A5, A4, A3, A2, Letter,
Legal, Executive.
8. For optimum performance, restrict printing to 12.7 mm (0.5 in.) from all edges, holes, or folds on the forms.
9. The term
length
applies to the forms dimension parallel to the forms motion.
Ordering Signal Cable
You can order signal cables and connectors through your IBM marketing
representative. You also can purchase the cables and connectors from other
suppliers. However, the cables and connectors from suppliers other than IBM must
conform to IBM specifications.
