Cut-Sheet Feeders; Installing A Cut-Sheet Feeder - Epson FX-870 User Manual

Cut-Sheet Feeders

Two cut-sheet feeders are available for use with your printer:
Printer
Standard
Wide
* Substitute for last digit, which varies by country.
The single-bin cut-sheet feeder holds up to 50 single sheets of paper.
When this cut-sheet feeder is installed, you can still manually insert
single sheets using the paper guide.
The high-capacity cut-sheet feeder holds up to 150 sheets of paper or
up to 25 envelopes.
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 later in this chapter. 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 it as described in the next section.

Installing a cut-sheet feeder

Install your cut-sheet feeder (single-bin, high-capacity, or double-
bin) 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 pull-tractor position, remove
it and reinstall it in the front or rear-tractor position. Then install
the paper-tension unit.
Note: Keep the paper guide handy; if you install the single-bin
unit, you need to reinstall the paper guide after you load paper.
Also, you will need it if you ever remove the cut-sheet feeder.
