misalignment will cause characters to be printed on at least one of the lines
that form the box.
While the print alignment can be adjusted on the FormsMaster 8000 series
printer to 1/100
th
of an inch, this is often too much to expect of the forms
manufacturer. Where the preprinted information is placed in respect to the
tractor holes on the form often varies on every other form in a single box of
forms, or from one box of forms to the next.
To help avoid this situation, create larger areas for data by allocating blank
lines in the printed data for horizontal lines, and allocating blank columns
for vertical lines. If this is not possible due to the amount of data that has to
be placed on the form, avoid using a dark color to form the preprinted lines
and boxes. Use a lighter color, preferable other than a gray, that will allow
the printed characters to still be read if misalignment occurs.
