Abstract
A folder-sealer apparatus for folding and sealing a number of mailer forms includes a housing. The apparatus also includes a roller assembly for folding and sealing the number of mailer forms, the roller assembly being secured within the housing. The apparatus further includes an input guide for guiding the number of mailer forms into the housing and into a nip of the roller assembly. The input guide is configured to receive a first mailer form of the number of mailer forms from an output mechanism of a printing device during a first period of time. The apparatus also includes a manual feed tray which is securable to the housing. The input guide is further configured to receive a second mailer form of the number of mailer forms from the manual feed tray when the manual feed tray is secured to the housing during a second period of time. A method of folding and sealing a number of mailer forms is also disclosed.
