The International X-ray Observatory plans to have a spectrographic instrument capable of achieving resolution of 3000 from 0.3 to 1.0keV. We present three optical designs for using off-plane gratings to cover from 0.2 to 2keV. One approach features a small grating array mounted on a standoff tower 4m from the focus. This design has the potential to be upgraded to cover the entire beam and provide 6000cm2 instead of the required 1000cm2. Another option places the grating array directly behind the primary mirror. This is more massive but can achieve resolution up to 13,000. This poster outlines the three options, and provides detailed raytracing and science simulations for each.
