How Reform total replaces existing multi-part forms:

Reform uses a powerful form-link feature. This form-link feature allows user to print multiple forms from a single text output. Simply specify which form link to which, and Reform will keep processing each form using the same text output until it reaches the end of the link. As a result, the multi-part printing is achieved. There is no limitation on the number of form links, and form links can be added at any time. 

Advantages over typical multi-part pre-printed forms:

Typical multi-part pre-print forms need the same layout for all parts of the forms. With form-link feature, however, the linked forms are independent from one another in terms of design and layout. The benefit to this approach is each form can contain individual settings such as output devices, fonts, graphics, etc. while maintaining the same data content. In additions, each part can be routed over the network to a different output device (electronic distribution). All the multi-part pre-printed forms generated by Reform will look as perfect as the first, because each print is not a carbon copy type but an individual print job.

Order person multi-part scenario:

An order person takes an order from a customer on his/her order-entry system. He/she prints out the order as usual. At this point he/she is done with printing while Reform takes over and does the rest. Reform captures the output and produces the printout using the first linked form called Order.fom. The Order.fom is printed to a shared network printer in the order-desk room. Then, reform continues to print using the next linked form called Pickingticket.fom to the warehouse's printer for the warehouse personal to gather the ordered products. The last linked form is an order acknowledgement form for the customer. Reform generates the printout and sends it via e-mail to the customer, who is located overseas. The important thing about the above scenario is all this happened automatically without any intervention from the order person.
