Appendix C

Performance Limitations

NOTE: If you use forms outside these limits, the print quality may not be

optimum, the printer may lose top-of-form, the frequency of paper
jams.

Paper Jams

Printer jams can occur if you tear off the form incorrectly. If you experience
two or more paper jams per box of forms, follow these guidelines to help
reduce jams:

Position the lower paper guides properly

Align the paper web tightness properly

Position the form perforation against the tear bar

Time the tear, while the paper is not moving

Direct the tear force toward the user and across the tear bar, not upward.

User Environment

The ZTP is noisier than the standard pedestal printer because the forms exit
the printer out of the top of the pedestal lid.
