Paper Handling Options

High-capacity cut-sheet feeder (C806381 for FX-880, 

C806401 for FX-1180)

Feeds up to 150 sheets of paper or 25 plain bond 
envelopes into the printer without reloading. You can 
load single-sheet paper, single-sheet multi-part forms, or 
envelopes.

Single-bin cut-sheet feeder (C806371 for FX-880, C806391 

for FX-1180)

Feeds up to 50 sheets of paper into the printer without

feeder.

Additional tractor unit (C800201 for FX-880, C800211 for 

FX-1180)

Use the additional tractor in the pull position along with

position to improve paper handling and reduce the 
chance of paper jams. This setup is especially useful with 
continuous multi-part forms.

Roll paper holder (#8310)

Allows you to use your printer with 8.5-inch roll paper 
like that used with telex machines.

FX-1180)
