Options
Paper Handling Options
High-capacity cut-sheet feeder (C806381)
Feeds up to 150 sheets of paper or 25 plain bond envelopes into the printer without reloading. If you also install the single-bin cut-sheet feeder, you can use both feeders as a double-bin cutsheet feeder.
Single-bin cut-sheet feeder (C806371)
Feeds up to 50 sheets of ordinary single-sheet paper and is used in conjunction with the high-capacity cut-sheet feeder to create a double bin.
Additional tractor unit (C800201)
Used in combination with the other tractor, improves continuous paper handling and reduces the chance of paper jams. This is especially useful for printing on continuous multipart forms.
Roll paper holder (#8310)
Allows you to use your printer with 8.5-inch roll paper like that used with telex machines.
Front sheet guide (C814231)
Allows you to easily load single sheets, including single sheet mulitpart forms, from the front paper slot.
