The printer displays NOT READY or a status code and message, and the Ready indicator is Off. See "Ready Indicator" on page 3-12 for more information. Forms You can use two types of forms (paper) in your printer: Continuous forms (F1 and F2 forms devices) Cut forms (F3 and F4 forms devices). The forms may be blank or preprinted. The forms may be single-part or multiple-part, with or without carbon paper. Keep in mind the following as you work with forms: Inspect all forms for damage. Do not use stapled, torn, or wrinkled forms. When you use forms directly from a box, remove the box tops; or, preferably, remove the forms from the box. Rough box-top edges can damage the forms or cause the forms to jam. All multiple-part cut forms must be glued at the top edge. A maximum of four-part forms is recommended for the best registration, feeding, and stacking. You might be able to use five- or six-part forms, but test them before ordering large quantities. Humidity affects forms feeding and stacking. Keep all forms in a cool, dry place. If the forms are exposed to high humidity, allow them to adjust to the humidity level of the printer area for approximately 24 hours before you use them. 3-18 User's Guide
