How to make laser printers print multi page forms

Currently, We are using okdata dot printers to print multi page forms, such as packing slips, invoices, checks etc. from HP-UX. We want to replace those printers with HP laser jet printers. How to make laser printers print multi page forms? Do we need to buy some special laser jet printers or need to install special software?
Thanks in advance.

Re: How to make laser printers print multi page forms

When you say, multi-page forms, I assume you are not talking about NCR or carbon-paper copies of the top form. If you are talking about those kinds of forms then I rather doubt you can make those photons bang the top copy hard enough with a laser to make much of a dent in the lower copies ---- and if you did, those photons would surely not be visible radiation.

If you do want to do fancy, multi-page printing of the same form (possibly in different colors) then that is possible. The best product I have found for this and one I have used for years is UnForm. (www.unform.com)

If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

Hi Simon

Laser printer cannot print multipart forms. You may setup no of copies options in print script or command
