Guidelines For Paper Path Selection
Choosing a Forms Path
IBM recommends that you use the Front Push forms path whenever possible. A
second choice is the Rear Push. If the Front Push forms path does not meet your
needs, you can set up and configure the printer for other forms paths.
This section helps you choose a forms path other than the default Front Push
forms path. Sometimes the forms paths choices are limited by the functions you
need, such as Document On Demand. Other times the forms path you should use
is dictated by the type of forms you are printing, such as black-back forms.
Consider Your Function When Choosing a Forms Path
Note: IBM recommends that whenever possible you use the front push forms path
You might select a forms path based on specific operating needs. Use the following
table when you are selecting a path.
