Preparing the Printer for Operation
SINGLE SHEET
A single sheet with a minimum length of 5 inches
(12.7 cm) may be used in Printers using paper rolls.
FAN FOLD
Your Printer may have a pin feed option which
consists of either a platen having a row of pins around
each end, or a forms feed tractor mounted on top of
the Printer. A pin feed Printer will use fan-fold paper
in one of the sizes shown in the table. A forms feed
tractor Printer can use any paper width from 3 inches
(7.6 cm) to 12 27/32 inches (32.6 cm). You can
determine the size your Printer uses by measuring the
distance across the width of the platen between pins.
Use "overall" size when ordering (see Figure 2-10).
Paper hole dimensions are shown in Figure 2-11.
Multiple copy paper consisting of an original and up
to five copies not exceeding 0.025 in. (0.64 mm)
thick may be used.
