The Input Paper Shelf feature can be ordered and installed on pedestal model

forms. This is a convenient feature if you need to move the printer often.
If you ordered a feature at the time of purchase, the feature may already be
installed on your printer. Refer to the documentation shipped with the feature
for more details.
For detailed information about these features or for information on ordering a
feature, contact your IBM sales representative or IBM Authorized
Remarketeer.

Protocols And Emulations

A protocol is a set of rules governing the exchange of information between the
printer and host computer. These rules consist of codes that manipulate and
print data and allow for machine-to-machine communication. A printer and
host computer must use the same protocol. As used in this manual, protocol
and emulation mean the same thing.
