I do not think I can dig anything up. It was not my printer, but one I had access to.

I do only remember that a complete set of all the parts plus an installation instruction could be ordered and installed.

One had to cut an opening for the extra selector switch into the upper case. What really awed me back then that somehow the supplier had come up with a two way switch that was identical to the ones HP installed.

So - apart from the choice of places where it could be located in the upper shell - it looked almost like factory installed....

Function was self-explaining: in one position the printer worked normal, in the other it reduced paper advance so that there was no spacing between the lines. Quite simply and effective.
