Options
Lower paper cassette unit (C812301)
The optional lower paper cassette unit allows you to feed up
to an additional 250 sheets of letter-size paper into your
printer.
Face-up output tray (C812311)
To feed single sheets of paper types such as envelopes,
transparencies, labels, or heavy paper, use the face-up output
tray. The face-up feed method reduces curling of such paper
types and the tray catches the paper at the paper ejection area
at the top back of the printer.
Memory Chip Sets (512KBMEM and 2MBMEM)
Two memory chip sets are available to increase the printer's RAM
Epson Adobe PostScript card (C826051)
The Epson Adobe PostScript card allows you to use your
printer as a PostScript printer. You can then use PostScript
fonts built into this card as well as thenumerous download
fonts available for PostScript printers.
