Manual feed
The following sizes of cutsheet paper maybe used in the manual feed: A5, A4, A3, A2, Letter,
Legal and Executive.
Single or multi-part forms may be fed into the manual cut sheet path. Multi-part forms should
be tested by the customer to ensure satisfactory feeding, registration and print quality. Forms
for the manual feed must meet the following specifications:
{ Form weight can range from 50 gsm (13.3 lbs) to 120 gsm (32 lbs). However, weights
less than 75 gsm may be subject to registration problems when print in NLQ mode or
graphics. Paper weights outside this range must be tested by the customer for proper
operation.
{ Form thickness for all parts may range from 0.08 mm (0.003 in.) to 0.64 mm (0.025 in.).
{ Form width ranges from 114.3 mm (4.5 in.) to 444.5 mm (17.5 in.)
{ Form length ranges from 101.6 mm (4 in.) to 609.6 mm (24 in.)
z Automatic Sheet Feed
The IBM 4247 Automatic Sheet Feeder provides an operator changeable mechanism for
automatic feeding of cut sheets. It includes a stacker and one input bin. The stacker also
serves as the output bin for the manual cut sheet input path. Two additional bins may be
added for a total of 3 input bins. Each automatic bin holds up to 120 sheets of variable width
80 gsm (20 lb) single-part paper. Multi-part forms (up to 3-part) can also be used. The output
stacker holds up to 150 sheets of 80 gsm (20 lb) single-part paper, collated sequence. Bin
selection can be controlled by the host system or from the 4247 operator panel. All operator
control is from the 4247 operator panel.
Paper meeting the following specifications is acceptable for use in the ASF. All other paper
must be tested by the customer for suitable performance.
{ Paper sizes (single or multi-part):
ASF Bin Paper Length Paper Width
-------------- ---------------------- ---------------------
Bin 1 (auto) 127-356mm (5-14 in.) 153-305mm (6-12 in.)
Bin 2 (auto) 228.6-356mm (9-14 in.) 153-305mm (6-12 in.)
Bin 3 (auto) 279.4-356mm (11-14 in.) 153-305mm (6-12 in.)
Up to 30 USA #6 (220mm - 110mm (8.66 in. x 4.33 in.))
or #10 (241.3mm x 104.8mm (9.5 in. x 4.12 in.)) envelopes with a
maximum thickness of 0.52mm (0.021 in.) and a maximum thickness
variation of .3mm (.012 in.) may be fed in ASF Bin 1.
{ Form weight should be 60 to 100 gsm (16 to 27 lb)
{ Form thickness of a single sheet should be a minimum of 0.086mm (0.0034 in.) and a
maximum of 0.117-mm (0.0046 in.). (Also see multi- part forms specifications).
{ For optimum performance, use 75 to 90 gsm (20 to 24 lb) cotton content (25% or 50%)
plain bond paper.
{ Multi-part forms can be used in all ASF bins. Tolerances and environmental conditions
are more critical for multi-part forms than for single sheets. All multi-part forms must be
tested by the customer for suitable performance with the ASF.
{ Multi-part forms used on the ASF are restricted to snap-out or top- glued forms only.
