Question : So if I copy a legal application on white paper, will I have a copy printed on the yellow page?
Answer : When running these through the printer, you will print on each and every page, both white and canary. When writing on these, what you write on the white sheet will imprint onto the canary sheet.
Question : Do these come as two individual sheets that are collated, or are they stuck together at the top as one set that can be run through the printer?
Answer : These sheets feed separately, and they must feed separately on all laser printers because there is no downward pressure in the laser printing process, so the second sheet would only ever come out blank if fed together. They must be printed separately, then stacked together, and when you sign the document, that signature is what comes through on both sheets.
Question : When I print, will the information transfer onto the yellow sheet as if I was to write on it? Or do I need a special printer?
Answer : When printing on this paper, you will print on each individual sheet and then when writing on each set of forms (white and canary), the writing will pass through to the second page.
Question : Can you write by hand on this paper and get a copy of what you have written?
Answer : Yes, just keep in mind this paper works one directional, so pay attention to the front of the package when taking the paper out, there is a small black arrow that says printing side up, you need to write on that side for it to work properly. If you have the paper flipped upside down it will not work.

Question : Will this paper work in a digital printer?
Answer : Yes, digital printers work just like normal laser printers, just be careful to pay attention to the printing side when you feed the paper, the NCR is one sided. There will be a small black arrow on the packaging that denotes which side is up when it arrives.
Question : Can I print front and back on this paper? I need to print the terms and conditions at the back of the form.
Answer : Yes, you can print on both sides, however, keep in mind that the carbon copy is one-sided. When the product arrives, there is a small black arrow on the packaging marked printing side up. You must keep the document in order and on the correct side so that your final result will work properly. If fed upside down or in reverse order, you may run the risk of not having the copying process work correctly.
Question : The description says to select 'reverse collated' for inkjet printers, but I don't see any option to select. Will this paper work in an inkjet?
Answer : I print the same thing on both pages as they are not attached. As the previous reviews state, it does take some figuring out the first time which side is up and how to get it through your printer, but it didn't take me long. Works like a charm for me now! These are a staple item in our office and I cannot find them anywhere in stores!
