Notes:
1. IBM recommends you remove the ASF before loading forms into the rear push forms path.
2. To use the push pull or dual push forms paths you must install the optional, second forms tractor.
Choosing a Forms Path for Special Forms
Note: IBM recommends selecting first the front push then the rear push as your choices for forms paths.
The 4247 Printer can print on various sizes, dimensions, and weights of forms. IBM recommends you test all
forms for your application before ordering large quantities. Use Table 107 on page 533 when you are choosing
which path to use for special forms or paper.
