Printing on Multipart Form

Once you have decided which paper format you are using, you can start sending the print tasks.

The printer loads the paper in the current paper path as soon as it receives data.

If you are using application software which uses the printer driver to manage the print jobs, make sure that the Paper Format and the Print Area match the paper installed on the printer.

Adapting to Paper Thickness

For good print quality and correct paper feeding, you should adapt the print impact strength and the print gap to the paper thickness. Your printer is factory set to adjust automatically, as it allows you to get the best printing results in most cases without any intervention. Select one of the other values only for special print tasks.

Two Macro menu Options are available to adapt the printer to specific paper thickness.

•

The PRINT GAP Option defines the distance between the print head and the platen.

– If you set the automatic adjustment ( Auto.adjust

Value) for the print gap the printer senses the paper thickness each time you load the paper and adjusts the gap accordingly.

This is the factory setting, as it allows you to get the best printing results in most cases without any intervention. Select one of the other Values only for special print tasks. When you select this Value, set, if necessary, the corresponding AUTO.GAP OFFSET Option.

– The print gap can also be set according to the number of parts of the paper ( For X parts Values).

– By setting the manual adjustment ( Manual adjust.

Value), you can adjust the print gap manually by using the print gap adjustment knob.

•

The PRINT IMPACT Option gives you the possibility to choose between two print head impact strengths.

– The factory setting Soft impact Value should be used for normal paper

– The Strong impact Value should be used for multipart form in order to obtain good quality printing for all copies.
