Xerox Envelope Tray for VersaLink C8000

Maximize efficiency in your print workflow with the Xerox Envelope Tray, a purpose-built accessory designed to expand envelope handling for the VersaLink C8000. The Envelope Tray 497K17880 is engineered to increase feed capacity, streamline mail-merge and marketing envelope jobs, and reduce interruptions in high-demand environments such as corporate offices, print shops, and busy mailrooms. By delivering a dedicated buffer for envelopes, it keeps your VersaLink C8000 running smoothly from the first envelope to the last, delivering professional results with every print. Built to Xerox standards, this tray integrates seamlessly with your device to optimize envelope alignment, minimize misfeeds, and support consistent output across large-volume campaigns. If your operation relies on timely, accurate envelope printing—whether for invoices, notices, direct mail, or customer communications—this tray is a compact, reliable upgrade that pays off in time savings, efficiency, and a more streamlined workflow.

• Boost productivity and capacity: The Xerox Envelope Tray increases the number of envelopes you can feed between refills, helping long print runs stay on track in busy offices, marketing teams, and repro environments. By buffering a ready supply of envelopes, it minimizes pauses caused by reloading, keeps your queue moving, and ensures consistent feed orientation. It supports a range of common envelope sizes and enhances overall efficiency, so first-page output, last-page accuracy, and overall print speed remain strong across the entire job. This is especially valuable for high-volume campaigns, transactional mail, and routine correspondence where delays can disrupt deadlines.
• Reliable feeding and alignment: This tray is designed to reduce jams and misfeeds by guiding envelopes toward the printer’s feed mechanism with precision side guides and a stable base. Envelopes lie flat and feed squarely, minimizing curl and edge skew that can ruin multi-page mailers. With the envelope tray in place, your VersaLink C8000 handles envelope tasks—such as direct-mail pieces, customer communications, and batch invoicing—with consistent quality, clean margins, and professional presentation across all prints.
• Easy installation and durable construction: The tray is built for straightforward installation in minutes, with minimal tools required in many setups. Its robust construction withstands daily use in demanding environments, resisting wear from frequent loading and unloading. The tray mounts neatly into the VersaLink C8000 envelope path and remains securely aligned during operation, providing a stable platform for envelopes while keeping access simple for reloading before critical print runs.
• OEM Xerox compatibility and quality: As an official Xerox accessory, this envelope tray is calibrated to the VersaLink C8000’s envelope feed system. It preserves Xerox warranty and support, and you can expect dependable performance that aligns with the printer’s original reliability. Using an authorized tray reduces the risk of sensor or compatibility issues and helps ensure smooth envelope printing across firmware updates and changing print requirements.
• Professional results for every job: With properly guided feeding and a stable tray, you get crisp edges, accurate margins, and clean return addresses and logos on a variety of envelopes. Whether you’re sending transactional notices, marketing mail, or corporate communications, the envelope tray helps you present a polished, professional brand image with less manual handling and fewer misfeeds during high-volume runs.
