We currently have to BDT sheet feeders (the 890 model) running on NTXs.
For the most part they work well, but they're not perfect.  There are
occasional paper jams, and once in a while the feeder will get out
of whack and feed a sheet from the wrong bin.

On the other hand, it's a hell of a lot better than running to the printer
whenever you want to print on other than white stock (and have no idea
who else is printing at the moment).
