Paper
Note:
Use recycled paper, labels, envelopes, postcards, overlapping
forms, and continuous forms with labels only under normal
temperature and humidity conditions as follows:
Temperature 59° to 77°F (15° to 25°C)
Humidity 20% to 60% RH
For continuous multi-part forms:
The form sheets of continuous multi-part forms should be
securely joined together along the left and right edges by
crimping or spot-gluing. For the best printing quality, use
multi-part forms joined with spot-gluing.
When using crimped multi-part forms, note the following:
Crimping should be pressed in from the original sheet
side and go completely through all copy sheets.
Crimping should be double-sided; using single-sided
crimping may cause the printer to jam.
Never use continuous multi-part forms that are joined with
metal staples or bar-gluing.
The thickness of the folding part when extended should be
the same as or less than the total thickness.
The binding area should be flat and should have no creases.
The sprocket holes of all sheets in the form should be
aligned properly.
The binding position should be outside the printable area.
