Continuous forms were extensively used in Brazilian and American offices during the 1980s-2000s for billing, payroll, and administrative documents. While largely obsolete with modern laser and inkjet printing, the term remains recognizable in corporate settings and among professionals who worked with legacy systems. In Brazil, small and medium businesses in interior regions may still occasionally use continuous forms with older equipment.
