HP CF242A 3×500-sheet feeder

The HP CF242A adds three 500-sheet trays for a total capacity of 1500 sheets, reducing reload frequency for HP LaserJet Enterprise 700 M712 series printers. It accepts Letter, Legal, A4, B5 and A3 plain paper. The unit stands 16.3 inches high, 21.4 inches wide and 23.1 inches deep, weighing approximately 43 lb.

Installation and common issues

The feeder sits beneath the printer and connects through the standard attachment points; no extra tools are required beyond those used for the printer itself. Ensure the printer is powered off and stable before lowering it onto the feeder. Misalignment during placement can prevent the tray sensors from engaging, causing paper-feed errors. Verify that all three trays are seated fully and that the paper guides match the loaded size to avoid jams.

Deciding specification

The only printers supported are the HP LaserJet Enterprise 700 M712 series; the feeder will not attach to other LaserJet models or to non-HP devices. If your printer is not in that series, this accessory cannot be used. Buyers who need extra capacity for a different printer should look for a feeder validated for that specific model.

Questions about this item
