how does it work,is it manual pull and the paper used is easily available or does it have to be a specific brand?

Manual pull dispenser works flawlessly. Has cut our paper towel usage in half.

Can just get paper and a tape really. Just put some tape on the back side of the paper and stick it on.

Yes it does work fine if paper is torn. did you know that you can print your own paper? Go to Livescribe's website and download your own printable paper.

Yes. Mine has worked great. Previously bought an off brand and had to toss it, I had a line through the paper, used it for about a year for unimportant jobs and then finally bought this one. Printer works like new.

I use rolls of ordinary adding machine paper. It takes no special paper and prints out just fine. I'm really pleased with mine. I bet you will be, too, if you get one.

Howdy! 8) I can't find any info on this site or HP's site about manual feeds for this printer. I do some printing on fine art metals and need to hand feed the metal paper (usually through a slot in the back) so it doesn't bend. Usually when your printer feeds from a paper tray, it grabs the paper and bends it up, into and through the printer. But fine art metals don't bend so they can't feed through the auto/paper tray. Does anyone know if there's a manual feed option on the B8550 that would keep the paper flat?

It's ready to use right out of the box. You just need paper and you may want to get extra ink (black and color). ENJOY!

Automatically, I believe. I think it just has the one paper loader (top/vertical loading) and it has paper-size spacers that you use to select the size of paper going in. At least, you set the width of the paper. I think the software is really what sets the actual size of the paper being fed into the printer.

This product is a permanent mounting tape, very high bond. If you are asking if it will pull the paper over time or due to gravity, it would seem possible depending on the wallpaper bond and the weight of the item. This mounting tape will pull the outer layer of paper from drywall as well when a person tries to remove it.

No sure about that brand, but I know it works great in our Equinox. We just boughtit by size of paper that we needed and are very pleased. I hope this helps.

Hi Sandy - I've only used regular paper and only owned it for a few weeks. If it's any help, the user's guide (pg4) states: do not use paper which is highly textured or extremely smooth, or has a chemical coating. It does work for various types of paper...heavy, light etc. however.If you google "Brother hll8350 printer user's guide" the guide should come up. Page 4 goes into types of paper, envelopes, labels to be used. That said, I'm quite happy with the printer for my purposes. As someone else advised, I'd contact Brother Customer Service. Supposedly they are helpful.Good luck. Hi Sandy - I've only used regular paper and only owned it for a few weeks.

I bought a package of oiled sheets of paper. I haven't used the shredder enough to use one yet. It's very simple though, just feed the sheet through the shredder and that's it.

The flip down envelope/paper tray can handle legal but the pull out draw tray only handles letter. I do really like this printer. I had one that lasted for 5 years and then replaced it with the same machine. I now have 2 in my 3 person business office. We don't use it for scanning (have ScanSnap s1500 on each desk) but faxing, coping and printing works great.

It handles different types of paper, I only use the brother paper that is made for it. I went to the Brother website and looked up the model number and it will show you the different labels and paper available for this model, then I just come back here to Amazon put in the part number for the product I am looking for and order it.

You do have to buy specific sized paper or you end up having to cut larger sheets into strips but doing that generally leaves you with useless scrap paper you can't use on the sander. It comes with a plastic punch which is nice because you put the paper on and press the punch into the paper to open the dust holes... to my experience very little sawdust actually goes up those holes you just opened and into the dust bag but that is really my only complaint.

There are a lot of recent reviews showing how easy it is to pick this with a paperclip or hair clip. I'd like to know from recent purchasers if this is still the case, without having to purchase a new lock for the unit.

It has an auxiliary tray in front that can be pulled down and used to feed a small amount of stock manually. Takes everything from letter size paper all the way down to #10 envelopes. One caution - because of the heat generated by the drum in this printer, envelopes tend to get wrinkled if they are too thin.
