Applications

Alternate output trays like this one are used on laser printers to provide a secondary paper exit path — typically routing printed pages face-up or to a separate output stack, which is useful for heavier paper stocks, envelopes, or jobs where maintaining page order matters. This style of tray was common on laser printers from the late 1980s through the 1990s. The blue plastic housing and general form factor are consistent with printers from that era. Buyers looking to replace a missing or broken alternate output tray on a compatible vintage laser printer will find this a practical replacement part.
