For the Dual Push forms paths or the Push Pull forms path, you will need to have
ordered and installed the optional, second forms tractor. Also consider ordering the
optional printer stand (see “Optional Printer Stand” on page 32). Contact your IBM
marketing representative for details or to order either item.
Choosing a Forms Path for Your Needs
Note: IBM recommends that whenever possible you use the Front Push forms path
for all your printing needs.
You might select a forms path based on other operating needs. Use the following
table when you are selecting a path. See “Chapter 8. Supplies, Forms, and Cables”
on page 151 for information about forms weights and thicknesses.
