Preface, TowerFeed 444/xx.65.yy Version, Printer Model

PREFACE

Congratulations! You selected TowerFeed, a superior sheet feeder specifically designed by Rutishauser Data AG in Switzerland in collaboration with HP USA, to extend the paper handling capabilities of the HP LaserJet 9000 printer.

The TowerFeed Option offers new possibilities. You can

•select from up to 9 different paper types directly from your workstation.

•print extra copies instead of going to the copier to make copies. You get the better copies and you can color code document copies to clearly identify a copy. The color already defines the addressee and you will save the marking of the copies.

•realize an attractive alternative to the multi-part forms printed on conventional impact printers. You will get better copies, raise the flexibility and you can save cost for expensive preprints and chemical papers.

We encourage you to read this manual carefully to ensure correct installation and reliable operation. While installing TowerFeed, or whenever an unclear situation arises, please also consult the user's manuals of your HP LaserJet 9000 printer, your computer system, your application software and your network software.
