Brother LT-6500 tray/feeder Auto document feeder (ADF) 520 sheets

The Brother LT-6500 auto document feeder (ADF) is a high-capacity paper feeding accessory designed to expand the paper handling capabilities of compatible Brother printers and MFC devices. With a 520-sheet capacity and compact footprint — 363 mm wide, 384 mm deep and 132 mm high — the LT-6500 enables extended, continuous printing jobs while minimizing the need for frequent paper replenishment. The unit is compatible with a range of Brother models including the HL-L6250DN and MFC-L5700DW, and is intended to integrate directly with the printer’s paper path to streamline high-volume workflows.

Advantages

The LT-6500 provides reliable high-volume feeding with a large 520-sheet capacity that reduces interruptions during long print runs. Its compact dimensions allow installation in typical office environments without requiring significant additional desk or floor space. The design ensures consistent paper alignment and feeding to reduce misfeeds and paper jams. Compatibility with select Brother printers simplifies integration and configuration, allowing users to scale output capacity without replacing the base device.

Suitable for

• Offices and departments with high daily printing volumes
• Print centers and shared workspaces requiring continuous runs
• Environments where reduced paper tray refill frequency is desired
• Users who require seamless integration with compatible Brother printers

How to use

Install the LT-6500 onto the compatible Brother printer according to the device’s installation guide, ensuring the feeder aligns with the printer’s paper path. Load up to 520 sheets of the appropriate paper size and type, taking care to fan and align the stack to reduce the chance of misfeeds. Configure paper settings on the printer’s control panel or driver to match the loaded paper type, then initiate print jobs as usual; the ADF will draw paper automatically as the job progresses. Periodically check the paper level and inspect for any obstructions or buildup of dust to maintain reliable operation.

Recommendations

Use standard office paper recommended by Brother and avoid mixing paper sizes or weights in the feeder. Keep the feeder and surrounding area free from dust, and store extra paper in a dry environment to prevent humidity-related feeding issues. For optimal performance, follow the printer’s maintenance schedule and address any paper jam prompts immediately to avoid damage to the paper path.
