Options Lower paper cassette unit (C812301) The optional lower paper cassette unit allows you to feed up to an additional 250 sheets of letter-size paper into your printer.

Face-up output tray (C812311) To feed single sheets of paper types such as envelopes, transparencies, labels, or heavy paper, use the face-up output tray. The face-up feed method reduces curling of such paper types and the tray catches the paper at the paper ejection area at the top back of the printer.

Memory Chip Sets (512KBMEM and 2MBMEM) Two memory chip sets are available to increase the printer's RAM

Epson Adobe PostScript card (C826051) The Epson Adobe PostScript card allows you to use your printer as a PostScript printer. You can then use PostScript fonts built into this card as well as the numerous download

fonts available for PostScript printers.

ActionLaser 1000/1500

Epson GL Identity card (C826021) If you have an ActionLaser 1000, the Epson GL identity card allows you to use your printer in the Epson GL emulation.

EPSON Type B Interface boards

If you would like to use this printer with three computers or use this printer to connect two serial or two parallel interfaces at the same time, install one of these interfaces:

C823071 32 Kbyte serial interface C823101 32 Kbyte parallel interface C823151 Twinax interface board C82314l Coax interface board

The Lower Paper Cassette Unit

Turn off the printer. Unplug the printers power cord from the electrical outlet and from the printer.

Remove the optional face-up output tray, if installed.

Move the printer to one side. Then set the lower cassette unit where your printer normally rests keeping the paper cassette facing you.

4. Lift the printer and align over the cassette unit using the two alignment pins on the lower cassette unit as guides. Lower the printer so that the pins fit securely into the holes on the bottom of the printer as shown below.

Note: The printer is heavy, so you may someone help you lift it.

5. Reconnect the power cord to the printer and plug it into an electrical outlet.

6. Turn on the printer.

The Face-up Output Tray

The printer normally delivers paper face down on top of the printer. The optional face-up paper tray is recommended for print jobs of twenty pages or less and when:

P you feed single-sheet items such as envelopes transparencies, heavy paper, or labels through your printer.

P you prefer your printed sheets feed from the printer with the text facing you.

Installing the face-up output tray
