Combinations
The following table shows usable combinations of paper weights 
for multipart forms. In each combination, its base (last) part is 
equal to or more than the other part(s) in weight. Weights not 
within the ranges given in the table impair paper feed accuracy 
and do not carry assurances.
NOTE
Weights shown parenthesised, although usable, impair paper 
feed accuracy and are not assured.

INDING
 
HOLES
For paper with binding holes, see “Binding holes” on page 235.
P
ERFORATIONS
The use of paper that contains out-of-specification perforations is 
not assured. (If any problems occur with the use of such paper, 
equipment or performance is not assured.)
When paper with such perforations is used in cases of absolute 
necessity, adequate prior testing must be performed to check 
that problems do not occur. Some precautions for using paper 
with perforations outside the assurance range are as follows:
> The specifications for perforations conform to those 
defined in “Perforation dimensions” on page 226.
