Built to maximize time and effort, the Relay 7000 also give you the flexibility to handle both letters and flats in the same job, without the need for manual changeover. Plus, you can meet demands of higher volume mailings with ease by adding up to two high-capacity sheet feeders, each with a 2,000 sheet capacity.

The Relay 7000 do the work… so you don’t have to.
With the intuitive user interface, you can set and start your mail runs in seconds. Plus, program your jobs with real names – not just numbers – to help you easily recall regular jobs. Change settings such as form letters to flats or single page letters to variable page bills with the press of a button. The simple-to-follow onscreen user guides walk you through the proper loading of paper, inserts and envelopes. With all of the guesswork eliminated, the Relay 7000 is easy enough to use for even casual operators.
