Computerised invoices on a4 paper

Dear learned members,

We used to print Excise Invoices on pre-printed computer continuous stationery. The Sr. No is printed at the time of preparation of invoice. As per the rule the Foirst copy is signed in original and the other copies are with the carbon impression.

Now we would like to switch over to A4 papers which can easily be printed using a Laserjet printer. These papers will be blank and all details will be prined on it at the time of invoice printing. In this case no carbon will be used and all the copies will be original print-outs.(though there is a marking of Original for buyer, Duplicate for transporter, triplicate-office copy etc.) My doubts are:-

1. Can I start this type of Invoices without any hesitation from the Excise Authorities?

2. Is there any rule preventing me from this?

3. Is there any rule/notifications that support me?

Waiting for your valuable suggestions.

Thanks and regards
