Special Papers
Multipart forms
Your printer can print on both single-sheet
and continuous multipart forms. It can use
multipart forms with up to eight parts
including the original.
c
Caution:
Use only carbonless multipart forms.
Before printing, set the paper-thickness lever
to the appropriate position for your
multipart forms referring to the table in
“Paper-Thickness Settings.”
You can load single-sheet multipart forms
from the paper guide, or with the optional
cut-sheet feeder or optional automatic sheet
alignment unit. For instructions, see “Single
Sheets with the Paper Guide,” “Loading
paper to the cut-sheet feeder” or “Single
Sheets with the Automatic Sheet Alignment
Unit.” You can load continuous multipart
forms in the same way as you load ordinary
continuous paper. For instructions, see
“Continuous Paper.”
c
Caution:
❏ When printing on multipart forms,
make sure that your software settings
keep the printing entirely within the
printable area of the forms. Printing
on the edge of a multipart form can
damage the print head. For
information about the printable area,
see “Printable area” in the Reference
Guide.
❏ Single-sheet multipart forms that are
glued at the side of the form should be
loaded only from the paper guide, not
from the optional cut-sheet feeder.
Overlapping multipart forms
Overlapping multipart forms are a type of
continuous paper with multipart forms. The
page length of the multipart forms is longer
than that of the backing continuous paper.
So when extended, one page’s multipart
forms overlap the next page’s multipart
forms as shown below. This overlapping
area is thicker than the printable area.
Follow these steps to load overlapping
multipart forms:
c
Caution:
Use overlapping multipart forms only
under normal operating conditions.
