Introduction

This chapter contains step-by-step procedures for each paper feeding method.

The 4247 printer can be set up to simultaneously process forms through two push

paths, the front push and the rear push. This is called dual push.

There are two ways of using this configuration. The first way is to load the two

paths with different forms. The printer can be set up to support two different

applications and the printing can be switched between the two forms. See “Using

different forms on two paths” on page 136 for more information.

The second way is to load the two paths with the same form. For some specific

applications, such as printing reports overnight without running out of forms, you

may find using the same form in both paths to be a good solution. The printer can

be set up to automatically switch paper sources and keep printing.

Notes:

1. The 4247 Printer can print on various sizes, dimensions, and weights of forms.

We recommend that you test all forms for your application before ordering

large quantities.

2. We recommend that you test the Park function when you intend to run

multiple-part forms. If you notice problems with backing up the forms, try

using the Eject function.

3. When your printer is loaded with different forms in the front push and the rear

push tractors, your job (or the operator) can select the desired source, and

alternate between the two paths. The operator must tear off the forms to allow

the printer to change paths.

4. Your printer comes with one forms tractor already installed on the printer.

When only this tractor is installed, the settings for the front paper path apply to

the paper loaded on this tractor. If instead the second (optional) tractor is

installed in the printer, the settings for the front path apply to the paper loaded

with the upper tractor, whereas the default tractor becomes the rear tractor.

Forms selection

You might select a forms path based on specific operating needs, frequency of use,

and ease of replenishing forms. Other times the forms path you should use is

dictated by the type of forms you are printing, such as black-back forms which can

only be used on the optional second tractor.
