The Slip sensors that activate the slip-in light use a reective photo sensor.
Do not use paper that has holes or dark areas with low reection (less than 60% reection) at the slip sensor
location. (Area “A” in the illustration above.)
Thin paper should be used between the top and bottom sheets of multi-part paper. Thick paper reduces the copy
capability.
For best print quality on the bottom sheets of multipart forms, use the double-strike mode.
If any part in a multipart form exceeds .003 inches in thickness, the remaining parts may be unreadable.
