forms in advance as a separate procedure. You can also define forms while you are

actually loading the forms.

The printer can store 1024 form name definitions in duplex and simplex modes,

and 1024 additional form name definitions for each printer in dual simplex mode

for a total of 3072 form name definitions for the complete system. Five form names

come standard with each system and appear on the Define Forms panel on the

Display Touch Screen.

listed and available for assignment/change/deletion only in duplex mode.

or Printer 2 dual simplex mode are listed and available for

assignment/change/deletion only when the printer is in simplex mode.
