Cut Sheet Forms - F3 Dimensions Forms Width Length Maximum 381 mm (15 in.) 355.6 mm (14 in.) Minimum 76.2 mm (3 in.) 177.8 mm (7 in.) Thickness The thickness of all forms should be a minimum of 0.08 mm (0.003 in.) and a maximum of 0.25 mm (0.010 in.). Acceptable print quality will be provided when using single-part forms. If you use forms having more than one part, you should test them for forms handling, print registration, and print quality. Weight Minimum weight for single-part forms is 56 g/m (15 lb). Maximum weight for single-part forms is 150 g/m (40 lb). The best range is 75 to 90 g/m (20 to 24 lb). Paper weights outside the functional range should be tested by the user. Performance Considerations When using the F3 device, you can use a width of up to 381 mm (15 in.). However, for optimum feeding and print registration, a maximum width of 330 mm (13 in.) is recommended. For optimum performance, printing should be restricted to 127 mm (0.5 in.) from all edges of the form. Forms are available from IBM or any forms supplier. Appendix C. Forms Information C-3
