Epson 9800 roll paper mystery accessory

Epson 9800 roll paper mystery accessory

2015-12-15 by roark.paul@...

This probably belongs on another forum, but I'll give it a try here first.


I bought a used 9800 that has an accessory bolted onto it that is a bit of a mystery to me. (The seller was a third party who was not knowledgeable.) It appears it is/was a device that held some type or bar or additional guide for roll paper or other substrate. Images of the left half of the device are at

(The printer had been refurbished; all component life info was very good and it works great.)


Any guidance would be most appreciated.

It is part of a two sided paper printing accessory. I had one on my 9600 when I bought it from a print shop. They came out in the early 2000s and I just took the one on mine off.

Thank you Dwight.

I'll take mine off also. It's held on by hex screws that go down into the printer. Are the nuts at the other end held in place, or am I likely to hear then falling into the printer guts when I unscrew them? (I assume the 9800 and 9600 are fairly similarly constructed.)

And, yes, Mark, I know that is a risk. Since they were not all at 5 and the printer looked to be in good shape, I just went for it. I'd always rather buy from a trusted source, but such are not always available. At least it didn't have some crappy third party inks in it! :-)
