Brother LT-6500 520x Sheets Lower Paper Tray for HL-L5100DN HL-L5200DW HL-L6200DW MFC-L5755DW MFC-L6700DW

The Genuine Brother LT-6500 520-Sheet Lower Paper Tray is an optional high-capacity paper input accessory designed for selected Brother professional monochrome laser printers and multifunction devices. Adding an LT-6500 provides up to 520 additional sheets of paper capacity, helping busy offices and workgroups reduce paper refilling and maintain productivity during larger print runs.

Designed for compatible models including the Brother HL-L5100DN, HL-L5200DW, HL-L6200DW, MFC-L5755DW and MFC-L6700DW, the LT-6500 installs underneath the printer to provide an additional dedicated paper source. It is particularly useful for businesses with higher print volumes or users who want to keep different paper sizes or media types loaded and ready for use.

Add 520 Sheets of Paper Capacity

The Brother LT-6500 expands the paper input capacity of a compatible Brother printer by up to 520 sheets of 80gsm plain paper.

This additional capacity is particularly valuable in busy offices where printers regularly handle long reports, invoices, correspondence, picking slips, educational material or other high-volume print jobs.

Instead of repeatedly refilling the printer's main tray, users can maintain a substantially larger paper supply ready for printing.

Compatible Brother Printers

The Genuine Brother LT-6500 is designed for selected Brother professional monochrome laser printers and multifunction devices, including:

• ✔ Brother HL-L5100DN
• ✔ Brother HL-L5200DW
• ✔ Brother HL-L6200DW
• ✔ Brother MFC-L5755DW
• ✔ Brother MFC-L6700DW

Important: The LT-6500 is compatible with additional models within this Brother printer generation, but compatibility and the maximum number of optional trays can vary by printer model and regional configuration. Please confirm your exact printer model before ordering.

Ideal for High-Volume Office Printing

Adding an optional lower tray can significantly improve workflow in an office where a shared Brother printer is used throughout the day.

The extra 520-sheet capacity means users can load approximately one full ream of standard office paper into the optional tray, helping reduce interruptions caused by an empty paper supply.

This makes the LT-6500 particularly useful for:

• Busy Offices
• Accounting Departments
• Administration Teams
• Warehouses & Dispatch Areas
• Schools & Educational Organisations
• Medical & Professional Offices
• Government Departments
• Shared Workgroup Printers
• High-Volume Invoice & Report Printing

Keep Different Paper Types Ready

An additional paper tray is useful for more than simply increasing total paper capacity. It can also provide a separate paper source for businesses that regularly switch between different paper sizes or media.

For example, a user may keep standard A4 office paper in the main printer tray while loading letterhead, coloured paper or another supported media type in the LT-6500.

With the printer and application configured correctly, users can select the required tray for different print jobs without manually changing the paper each time.

Supported Paper Sizes

The LT-6500 supports a range of common office paper sizes on compatible Brother printers, including:

• ✔ A4
• ✔ Letter
• ✔ A5
• ✔ Executive
• ✔ Legal
• ✔ Folio
• ✔ Other Region-Specific Supported Sizes

Available paper sizes can vary slightly according to the exact printer model and regional configuration.

Supported Paper Types & Weights

Brother specifies the optional tray for supported media including:

• ✔ Plain Paper
• ✔ Letterhead
• ✔ Coloured Paper
• ✔ Thin Paper
• ✔ Recycled Paper
• ✔ Supported Thick Paper

The optional tray supports paper weights from approximately 60 to 120gsm on compatible models.

Note: Special media such as envelopes and labels may need to be fed through the printer's multipurpose tray rather than the LT-6500. Always follow the media specifications for your exact Brother printer.

Expandable Paper Handling

Selected compatible Brother printers support more than one optional lower tray, allowing businesses to build a larger-capacity paper configuration according to their workflow.

For example, Brother specifies that models such as the HL-L5100DN and HL-L5200DW can accept up to two LT-6500 520-sheet lower trays. Selected higher-volume models also support multiple optional trays, subject to the configuration limits specified for the printer.

This gives businesses flexibility to increase paper capacity as printing requirements grow.

Genuine Brother Accessory

The LT-6500 is a Genuine Brother accessory designed specifically to integrate mechanically and electronically with supported Brother printers.

Using the correct genuine lower tray helps ensure proper physical fit, paper feeding and tray recognition by the compatible printer.

Why Add the Brother LT-6500?

The LT-6500 is particularly valuable for users who already have a capable Brother business laser printer but need greater paper capacity.

Rather than replacing the printer with a larger device, adding a 520-sheet lower tray can provide a simple way to increase paper capacity, reduce interruptions and improve workflow.

It also provides the flexibility to maintain separate paper sources for different media, making it useful for offices that frequently alternate between standard paper, letterhead or other supported media.
