### Multipart forms

The specifications for the dimensions of multipart forms are the same as those for single sheets and continuous paper. See Single-sheet multipart forms: paper guide entry and Continuous paper multipart form: rear entry 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.

> * 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.

- The binding position should be outside the printable area. See Recommended printable area for more information.
