paper feeder option, including procedures for cleaning the feeder and removing paper jams.
About the 550 Sheet Feeder
The 550 sheet feeder is an optional single tray paper feeder that attaches under the printer. The
feeder holds a universal paper tray that accommodates a variety of print media and holds a maxi-
mum of 550 sheets of standard weight paper. The printer supplies all of the operating power that is
needed by the feeder, and motors and circuit boards internal to the feeder provide the feeder with
drive and operational logic.
At the start of a print run the feeder motor switches on and begins to feed a sheet of paper out of a
selected tray. Rubber rollers drive the sheet out of the tray, through the feeder, and into the printer.
Sensors monitor the progress of the paper as it travels through the feeder.
The 550 sheet feeder can be installed in the following configurations:
■ Printer and one 550 sheet feeder
■ Printer and two 550 sheet feeders
