Product Features
Technical Overview
The LT-5505 tray operates as a dedicated plain paper feeder with a total media capacity of 250 sheets. It accommodates three common paper dimensions: A4 (8.30" x 11.70"/210.82 mm x 297.18 mm), Legal (8.50" x 14"/215.90 mm x 355.60 mm), and Letter (8.50" x 11"/215.90 mm x 279.40 mm). The tray mechanism is optimized for consistent sheet feeding to prevent jams and misfeeds during high-duty cycles.
Constructed with durable materials, the tray features a compact physical footprint that aligns with the printer's base dimensions. The unit measures 4.80 inches in height, 14.30 inches in width, and 15.10 inches in depth, ensuring it integrates cleanly beneath compatible Brother devices without protruding beyond the printer's established workspace.

Deployment / Use Cases
The LT-5505 tray is ideally suited for environments where existing Brother printers are meeting capacity limits or where paper variety needs separation. Its dedicated plain paper handling makes it a straightforward productivity upgrade.
In legal offices, the tray can be loaded with Legal-size paper while the main tray holds Letter or A4, allowing quick switching between document formats without reconfiguring the primary tray. For accounting departments or administrative centers, the additional 250-sheet capacity supports month-end report printing, invoice batches, or compliance documentation without constant paper monitoring.
Educational institutions and government offices benefit from the tray's ability to handle high-volume printing for syllabi, forms, or public information materials. The compatibility with multiple Brother models makes it a versatile investment that can be redeployed as printer fleets evolve.
Physical Profile
The tray features a sturdy plastic construction with smooth paper guides and a secure latching mechanism. Its 4.80-inch height allows it to fit neatly under compatible Brother printers, maintaining a low center of gravity for stability. The 14.30-inch width and 15.10-inch depth correspond to standard printer footprints, ensuring it doesn't extend beyond the printer's base on desks or workstations.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 4.80" (121.92 mm), 14.30" (363.22 mm), 15.10" (383.54 mm). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
