Paper Requirements
Selecting the right printer paper is one of the most impoi-tant factors in 
obtaining good paper stacking performance. The paper that you choose 
needs to acclimate to your location and the type of printing you are 
doing. The powered paper stacker is only successful if the paper falls 
and folds correctly onto the paper tray. Because some variables in paper 
may significantly affect print quality or the way the paper handles, it is 
very important to understand the many aspects that can alter paper 
performance.
The printer uses continuous fan-fold, edge-perforated paper varying in
width from 3 inches (7.6 cm) to 18 inches (45.72 cm). Although the
printer accepts paper as wide as 18 inches (45.72 cm), the farthest right 
it can print is 15.2 inches (38.6 cm). It vrill handle paper weights in the 
range of 15 to 100 pound (57 to 380 gra/sq metre) and multi-part carbon 
forms up to six parts may be used, with a maximum pack thickness of
.024 inches (.61 mm).
