Options

A variety of printer options are available for use with FX printers. For
detailed information on the installation and use of these options, see
Chapter 7.
Single-bin and dual-bin cut sheet feeders
A cut sheet feeder gives you easier and more efficient handling of single
sheet paper. Up to 150 sheets of standard bond paper can be fed
automatically into the printer without reloading. This unit also can
automatically feed envelopes.

Pull tractor unit

This option improves the performance of continuous paper handling. It
is especially useful with continuous multi-part forms.
Optional interface boards
A number of optional interfaces can be used to supplement the FX's
built-in parallel interface. Guidelines for choosing the right interface and
instructions on installing the boards are given in the section on interface
boards in Chapter 7.
