[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Envelope Feeder for LaserWriter IINT

pv9y@vax5.cit.cornell.edu (10/03/90)

Does anyone know of an envelope feeder for the LaserWriter IINT? Some
people I know are interested in feeding envelopes automatically
instead of using labels because it looks more personal. MacConnection
said they thought envelope feeders existed, but they didn't sell any.
Suggestions as to where I could get one and how much it might cost
would be greatly appreciated....

Check out the BDT Laserfeeder, which supposedly runs on the LW IINT, LW IINTX,
HP LaserJet II, III, and other printers using the Canon SX engine.  (They may
support other engines, too, for all I know.)

According to their literature, for around $1500 you can get a 3 bin feeder
which includes an envelope feeder.  They offer options to support up to a
total of six bins, including the envelope bin.  I've seen these advertised
in MacUser (among others), but haven't yet gotten one.  If anybody has
any experience with them, I'd appreciate knowing about it.

There is an Envelope Cassette available for the LaserWriter IINT.
I purchased one in Cambridge, MA at Cambridge Electronics, Inc. for
less than $100.

The cassette holds 15 envelopes at a time, and accepts various sizes
of envelopes.

Any Apple dealer should be able to order one for you.
