TESTING FOR CARBONLESS PAPER COLLATION
A quick test you can perform to determine which collation you need is to number

three sheets of ordinary paper in order: 1 - 2 - 3. Load the numbered sheets so
that the printer prints on the same side that the numbers are on. Print the three sheets.
Take the three printed sheets from the output tray.
If the first sheet has a "1" on it, you need a FORWARD collated product.
If the first sheet has a "3" on it, you need a REVERSE collated product.
Please review the chart below to confirm your test.

Testing 2 part

Testing 2 Part CARBONLESS Paper (Label on ream wrapper shows Print Side.): Although it is difficult to tell, carbonless paper does have a front (imaging) and a back (non-imaging) side. The best way to tell which is which is to determine the proper sequence of colors. First, lay the stack of Carbonless Paper on the table in front of you, being careful not to disturb the sequence.


2 Part Carbonless Paper comes as only REVERSE COLLATED paper. Since you have received REVERSE COLLATED paper, then the proper sequence is Canary-White, in that order. If your paper appears to be in White-Canary sequence, then you are looking at the back side of the paper. Simply flip the entire stack over so that the paper is face up. If your printer outputs face down, then the first sheet printed should be White. If your printer outputs face up, then simply remove the White sheet from the top of the stack so that the first sheet printed is Canary.

Testing 3 Part CARBONLESS Paper (Label on ream wrapper shows Print Side.): Although it is difficult to tell, carbonless paper does have a front (imaging) and a back (non-imaging) side. The best way to tell which is which is to determine the proper sequence of colors. First, lay the stack of Carbonless Paper on the table in front of you, being careful not to disturb the sequence.


If you have received FORWARD COLLATED paper, then the proper sequence is White-Canary-Pink, in that order. If your paper appears to be in Pink-Canary-White sequence, then you are looking at the back side of the paper. Simply flip the entire stack over so that the paper is face up.


If you have received REVERSE COLLATED paper, then the proper sequence is Pink-Canary-White, in that order. If your paper appears to be in White-Canary-Pink sequence, then you are looking at the back side of the paper. Simply flip the entire stack over so that the paper is face up.


Once you have determined which side of the paper is the face, simply load the paper into the printer, making sure to load face down or face up as necessary. Now you are ready to print. You can print the actual form that you will be using, or just a test document. You should try to print something that uses all the colors that comprise the form and make sure you go through at least 2 "sets" of forms. Once your forms are printed, you need to determine that they are on the proper White-Canary-Pink sequence, and that you have indeed printed on the correct side of the paper. To do this, take one White-Canary-Pink "set" of forms, and write your name on the White Sheet, making sure to press down hard enough to image the other sheets. Your name should image onto the Canary and the Pink sheets. If it has, your test has been successful, and you are now ready to go.
