Cut-Sheet Feeders

Two cut-sheet feeders are available for use with your printer:

PrinterSingle-binHigh-capacity

LQ-870

C806371

C806381

LQ-1170

C806391

C806401

The single-bin cut-sheet feeder holds up to 50 single sheets of paper. When this cut-sheet feeder is installed alone, you can still manually insert single sheets using the paper guide.

The high-capacity cut-sheet feeder holds up to 150 sheets of paper. You can also load up to 25 envelopes automatically with this cut-sheet feeder.

You can also connect both cut-sheet feeders and operate them as a double-bin cut-sheet feeder (see Assembling the double-bin cut- sheet feeder). This allows you to load two different types of paper automatically.

Follow the directions included with your cut-sheet feeder to assemble it; then install the cut-sheet feeder as described in this chapter.

Installing a cut-sheet feeder

Installation of each cut-sheet feeder-single-bin, high-capacity, or double-bin-is basically the same. Install your cut-sheet feeder by following the steps below.

1. Make sure the printer is turned off. Remove the paper guide

and printer cover.

..

2.If the tractor unit is installed in the top-tractor position, remove it and re-install it in the front- or rear-tractor position and install the paper-tension unit.

Note: Keep the paper guide handy; if you install the single-bin unit, you need to re-install the paper guide after you load paper. Also, you will need it if you ever remove the cut-sheet feeder.
