Epson FX-1050 Printer User Manual


 
options
A variety of printer options are available for use with FX printers. For
detailed information on the installation and use of these options, see
Chapter 7.
Single-bin cut sheet feeder
The cut sheet feeder gives you easier and more efficient handling of single
sheet paper. Up to 150 sheets of standard bond paper can be fed
automatically into the printer without reloading. This unit also can
automatically feed envelopes.
Pull tractor unit
This option improves the performance of continuous paper handling. It
is especially useful with continuous multi-part forms.
Optional interface boards
A number of optional interfaces can be used to supplement the FX’s built-
in parallel interface. Guidelines for choosing the right interface and
instructions on installing the boards are given in the section on interface
boards in Chapter 7.
About This Guide
This User’s Guide provides fully illustrated, step-by-step instructions for
setting up and operating the FX-850 and FX-1050 printers. The FX-850

accept wider paper. The illustrations in this manual usually show the
FX-1050 printer.
