Bursting and stacking continuous-forms paper

Bursting paper means separating the continuous-forms paper into individual sheets. The 3800, 3900, or InfoPrint 4000 printer must be equipped with an optional burster-trimmer-stacker (BTS) device. If the printer does not have a BTS, the forms go to a continuous-forms stacker.

Note:

If you are using the "Page-Printer Defaults" form, it indicates whether a specific continuous-forms printer has a BTS. See Figure 52.

Use the BURST parameter to specify whether you want the output paper to go to the BTS or to the continuous-forms stacker (see BURST). If your data set is printed on a cut-sheet-paper printer, PSF ignores the BURST parameter.

Examples:

This example is for printing on a 3900 printer with a BTS installed. The BURST parameter is specified in the DD statement to indicate that you want the output burst into separate sheets:
```
//DD1 DD SYSOUT=A,DEST=PR3900,BURST=YES
```

In this example, the BURST parameter is specified in the OUTPUT statement:

//OUTPUT1 OUTPUT BURST=YES,FORMDEF=USER1
//DD1 DD SYSOUT=A,OUTPUT=(*.OUTPUT1)
