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.

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.

Allows you to use your printer with 8.5-inch roll paper like
that used with telex machines.
