Multipart forms
The specifications for the dimensions of multipart forms are the same as those for single sheets and continuous paper. See Paper for detailed information.
The form sheets of continuous multipart forms should be securely joined together along the left and right edges by crimping or, spot-gluing. For the best printing quality, use multipart forms joined with spot-gluing.
spot-gluing
|
|
|
crimping
|
|
|
spot-gluing and crimping on each side
|
|
|
1. 1 inch or less
2. 3 inches or less
3. printing side
|
|
Note:
When using 4 inches or wider but less than 9.4 inches wide multipart forms joined by crimping (multipart forms with cut-paper tab binding), set the Multipart forms with cut-paper tab binding in the default-setting mode to on.
|
Caution:
Never use continuous multipart forms that are joined with metal staples or bar-gluing.
|
|
|
1. bar-gluing
2. metal stapling
|
The thickness of the folded part when extended should be 1 mm or less.
The binding area should be flat and have no creases.
The sprocket holes should be a circle or a notched circle.
The sprocket holes of all sheets in the form should be aligned properly.
