Digital BW, The Print

I once tried to figure out how I could best accommodate a 3000 
without giving up the straight-through manual/tractor feed. It seemed 
to me best to put the 3000 (or two 3000s) on a cart in an opposite 
corner and wheel it up to the rest of the workstation for connection 
(ethernet?) and printing. I.e., I could make room for the 3000, or 
even two stacked, I just couldn't make room on my physical desktop 
(because of a large flatbed scanner with an SCSI connection I 
couldn't extend).

Incidentally, Dan Culbertson designed, built, and used a neato feeder 
tray to fit between two not-stacked 3000s with their backs turned to 
each other. I think he marked up the tray to help him control 
registration for the over-printing he was then doing. Oh, for a large 
room with a high table that can be walked around!
