An optional 4,550- sheet High Capacity Feeder with three drawers is available, which increases the maximum input capacity to 7,550 sheets. Duplex capability comes standard with both printers.

Custom paper sizes are supported in trays 2 and 3. Custom size is 148 mm x 210 mm (SEF) minimum (5.9 in. x 8.3 in.) and 297 mm x 432 mm (SEF) maximum (11.8 in. x 17 in.). Custom paper sizes run at half speed and are supported in PostScript, IPDS, and PCL 6, but not PCL 5.

Infoprint 2085 and 2105 print the front side of duplex pages first. This means preprinted forms that will be used for both simplex and duplex jobs can be loaded in a single tray and used effectively with no extra steps required.
