Preparing to Operate the 1330
Review the following points carefully to ensure that your forms are appropriate for use
in the 1330.
1. Except for horizontal dimensions of the first print position specified in Figures 2-12
and 2-13, no printing should occur within 0.25 inch (0.6 cm) of any edge, perforation,
or fold.
2. Printing must not occur across any holes, perforations, or edges of the forms, nor
should printing occur directly on the platen.
3. Continuous card stock forms are not recommended.
4. Narrow width forms (less than 8.0 inches [20.3 cm]) contribute to instability of
stacking and may require operator attention. Wider base forms are recommended.
5. The minimum single part forms thickness is 0.003 inch (0.08 mm). The maximum
single part forms thickness is 0.006 inch (0.15 mm).
6. The maximum allowable multiple part forms thickness is 0.025 inch (0.64 mm).
The maximum recommended multipart forms thickness is 0.018 inch (0.46 mm).
The minimum thickness for any sheet in multipart forms is 0.002 inch (0.05 mm)
(carbon excluded). The maximum thickness for any sheet in multipart forms is 0.006
inch (0.15 mm).
7. Up to six-part continuous part forms (original plus five copies) can be used. However,
for optimum feeding, registration, and print quality, a maximum of four parts is
recommended. All multipart forms should be tested by the customer prior to use for
satisfactory feeding, registration, and print quality.
8. Carbon forms are recommended for multipart continuous forms. Carbonless (ink
impregnated) forms can be used but may result in less legible print than carbon
paper.
9. No hard or metallic fasteners are permitted.
10. Gluing is the recommended method of fastening forms. The gluing must be adequate
to prevent separation or shifting of the forms as they are fed through the printer.
11. Crimping is not recommended. However, if crimping is used, the crimps must be
located no more than 2 inches (5.1 cm) apart along the margins of the forms length.
12. Partial forms separation is not permitted.
13. Translucent or thin forms may cause the paper motion detector to give false readings.
The paper motion detector can be disabled, if required, to allow the use of these
forms (see Chapter 4).
Next is the procedure for using the Continuous Forms module.
