The optional 250-sheet tray is supported with the TowerFeed option installed. You can install up to two 250-sheet
trays on the printer and also use TowerFeed at the same time.
The 500-sheet tray is not supported together with the TowerFeed.
POWERSAVE Function (Printer Setting)
The POWERSAVE function is not supported with TowerFeed installed and must be set to OFF.
(Printer panel: CONFIGURATION MENU; POWERSAVE = OFF)
ProRes Function (PCL6 Printer Driver Setting)
FastRes is the default printer driver setting. It can be changed to ProRes though. At this time, the ProRes Mode is
NOT supported with TowerFeed installed.
HP JetAdmin
The HP JetAdmin network printer administration software does not fully support the TowerFeed paper handling
option, particularly not the remote paper type assignment to the paper trays. (This assignement has to be done via
the printer panel, as described in Papertype Assignments on page 9 of this manual.)
