And lately I've noticed posts from people who have those and can't
get print wheels for them.  They were OEM from Ricoh who was making
them years before they got an RS badge put on them.  That makes
that model 30 years old now.

On multiple forms in filePro I just use multiple print statements
in a loop statement and would change one variable between each
print and pass through the loop.

One instance the forms were identical except the light ghost image
on top that said Original, File , Employee.

Dot matrix printers that handle many pages are available but take a
bit of looking.   Multi-part forms means everything is done at
once.  Multiple sheets in a laser printer mean assembling the
sheets afteward and taking more time to print them.

Perhaps one of the larger laser printers which collate/staple/etc
can be configured to do this.
