Applications

Cut sheet feeders like the C806390 are standard accessories for wide carriage impact dot matrix printers, allowing automatic single-sheet feeding in office environments that print on pre-cut paper rather than continuous-form stock. The Epson FX-1170 is a 136-column (wide carriage) 9-pin dot matrix printer introduced in the early 1990s and widely used in business, government, and industrial settings for printing multi-part forms, invoices, and wide-format documents. Cut sheet feeders for this class of printer remain in demand today wherever FX-1170 and similar Epson wide carriage printers are still in service — a common situation in environments that rely on legacy forms-based printing. The C806390 mounts directly to the printer's tractor mechanism area and feeds sheets one at a time through the printer's platen.
