Paper Handling Options

High-capacity cut-sheet feeder (C80673 )

Feeds up to 150 sheets of paper, 25 plain bond envelopes, or

30 postcards into the printer without reloading. You can also

load a stack of single-sheet multipart forms up to 0.59 inch

(15 mm) thick in this feeder.

Second-bin cut-sheet feeder (C80674 )

Connects to the high-capacity cut-sheet feeder to create a

double-bin cut-sheet feeder. You can load up to 50 sheets of

ordinary single-sheet paper in the second-bin cut-sheet feeder.

Pull tractor (C80032 )

Improves continuous paper handling and reduces the chance

of paper jams. Using a pull tractor in combination with a

push tractor is especially useful for printing on continuous

preprinted forms, multipart forms, and labels, and also for

printing high-quality graphics.

Roll paper holder (#8310)

Allows you to use your printer with 8.5-inch roll paper like

that used with telex machines.
