Paper Handling

The LaserWriter Select 310 printer offers a variety of paper handling features, as shown in Figure 1-7. It has three paper feeders and six types of cassettes:

The manual feeder is an integral part of the printer. To use it, you pull down a small flap on the front of the printer. You may use this feeder to feed single sheets manually, or you may attach an optional multi-purpose tray that accommodates up to 50 sheets of varying sizes, or five envelopes.

The 250-page feeder pulls out like a drawer from the front of the printer. It accommodates a cassette which holds three paper sizes: letter, legal, and envelope.

The 500-page optional feeder is a separate unit. It is installed under the LaserWriter Select 310 printer. It accommodates a cassette which holds three paper sizes: A4, B5, and letter.

The basic printer comes with:

the 50-sheet feeder

the 250-sheet feeder

a universal cassette 250-sheet cassette that holds U.S. letter-size paper, A4-size paper, A5-size paper, B5-size paper, and executive-size paper.

As shown in Figure 1-7, if you use the basic printer with additional optional feeders, you can extend the printer’s paper-feeding capabilities to 500 or 750 sheets. You can also use the manual feed tray in any of these configurations.
