(b) Duplication. All requirements of duplication may be satisfied by the use of any photocopy method capable of producing a clear black image on white paper, but not including ordinary carbon copy, provided, that in each instance the duplication shall conform to the requirements of subdivision (c) of this rule as to paper, size, form, and pagination.

(c) Form and Size. All papers pursuant to the provisions of this rule shall be duplicated on pages not exceeding 8½ by 11 inches, with type matter on all papers other than exhibits to be of letter quality not exceeding 6½ by 8½ inches.

Page numbers shall be in large, distinct type and shall appear in the bottom center margin of the page.
