Choosing Other Forms Paths
IBM recommends you use the Front Push forms path whenever possible. A second
choice is the Rear Push. If the Front Push forms path does not meet your needs,
you can set up and configure the printer for other forms paths. You use a method
similar to that used when you set up the Front Push forms path in “Chapter 1.
Printer Setup” on page 1.
“Chapter 2. Considering Other Forms Paths” helps you choose a forms path other
than the default Front Push forms path. “Chapter 3. Setting Up Another Forms Path”
on page 39 helps you set up that forms path.
You may configure the printer for any one of five forms paths, plus the Manual
Sheet Feed path with the Front Push, the Rear Push, or the Dual Push paths (see
“Preparing Printer for Selected Forms Path” on page 44). Figure 17 on page 34
illustrates the five forms paths and the Manual Sheet Feed.
Each forms path is shown with the necessary tractors installed, and where the
forms input and output stacks should be located.
Notes:
1. The forms tractors are interchangeable between push and pull forms paths, and
front and rear forms paths.
2. The paper bail is installed for four of the five forms paths; it must be removed
for the Rear Pull forms path.
3. The Manual Sheet Feed can be used with three of the five forms paths.
4. The adjustable edge of each pin feed assembly must be set to properly guide
the forms in that forms path.
5. IBM recommends you test the performance in the printer of any forms you
intend to use.
