2.5.3 Multiple-part forms
This printer utilizes up to 6-part forms. Interleaved carbon paper utilizes
6-part forms and is not included in the number of parts. Forms with
interleaved carbon paper, carbon-backed forms, and forms using carbonless copy
paper are available as multiple-part forms.
Each part of multiple-part forms
must meet the specifications in Subsections 2.5.1 and They must be of
the same length and width.
This section describes the fastening, misalignment, and thickness of
multiple-part forms and also how multiple-part forms cause feed defects.
(1) Fastening multiple-parts
Each part of multiple-part forms must be fastened together at one or both
pin feed hole areas by gluing or crimping. Multiple-part forms with
interleaved carbon paper should be fastened on the right. must
not be used on forms. If they are used, the printer print section will be
damaged and a feed error will occur.
For gluing, do the following:
. The shape of glued parts should be dots or stripes in the vertical
direction, as shown in Figure 2.14,
. Glue should be applied evenly and must not cause wrinkles or discolor
the paper.
. Do not apply glue to the perforations. If stripe gluing is necessary,
the glue must not through perforations of the top and bottom
layers.
. Glue cannot be used if forms lose pliability.

Figure 2.14 Methods of fastening paper
For crimping, do the following:
. Layers must be firmly fastened and must not come
. There should be no paper tailings or dust.
. Forms should maintain their shape so as not to cause jams.
. Crimps must not overlap horizontal perforations.
If crimps overlap
horizontal perforations, the forms will tear at perforation.
. Crimps should not project through the bottom
If layers of multiple-part forms are not properly the layers are
likely to peel apart, causing feed defects.
