Printing
Standard-Size
Forms The TROY IRD 9000 1
UP
printer is capable of printing 1-up forward IRD size forms, 1-up return IRD size forms,
as well as standard size forms. However, forms other than 1-up IRD forward and return size forms cannot be
duplexed. The IRD duplexer in the IRD 9000 1
UP printer is only compatible with 1-up forward and return IRDs.
All other forms must be printed in simplex mode. When printing using simplex mode, the TROY IRD 9000 1
UP
printer does not route forms through the duplexer, so the 1-up IRD form restriction imposed by the IRD duplexer
path does not apply when using simplex printing. To print standard-size forms, the 100-sheet multipurpose tray
must be installed on the printer.
The TROY IRD 9000 1 UP printer can be reconfigured to duplex standard size forms by replacing the IRD
duplexer with the standard HP duplexer designed for the HP 9000 printer and is available as an accessory from
TROY. The TROY IRD 9000 1
UP printer does not support duplexing of both 1-up IRD and standard forms
without changing the duplexer. In addition, the TROY IRD 9000 1 UP printer must be configured to match the
type of paper loaded in each of the paper trays.
For paper trays containing standard forms, the printer should be configured with settings that exactly match the
forms. Only the special 1-up IRD forms require adjusted dimensions as discussed on page A-1. The 1-up IRD
paper trays supplied standard with the IRD 9000 1
UP printers cannot be used for standard form sizes. To print
standard-size forms in the TROY IRD 9000 1
UP
printer, the IRD paper trays must be substitutes with standard
paper trays, available as accessories from TROY.
The TROY IRD 9000 1 UP printer supports two IRD/standard 500-sheet paper trays plus an optional 2,000-sheet
“high capacity” paper tray. These three trays can be mixed between IRD paper trays and standard HP paper trays
in any combination to meet your printing requirements. However, the host application must be configured to
command the printer to only print standard form sizes in simplex mode in order to avoid the standard-size forms
from being routed through the IRD duplexer. Any attempt to print standard-size forms in duplex mode with the
IRD duplexer installed will result in the form jamming in the duplexer section of the printer.
It is important to note that commanding the TROY IRD 9000 1 UP printer to print in simplex mode is entirely
different than commanding it to print in duplex mode without any printing on the second side of the form. When
printing in simplex mode, the TROY IRD 9000 1
UP
printer routes the form past the imaging section of the printer
only once and then directly to the output bin. The form does not pass through the duplexer section.
When printing in duplex mode, even if no printing will appear on the second side of the form, the TROY IRD
9000 1
UP printer routes the form past the imaging section, through the duplexer, and back past the imaging
section a second time before routing the form to the output bin. Therefore, standard-size forms cannot be printed
in duplex mode with the IRD duplexer installed even if no printing is to appear on the back side of the form.
