Feeder

The input tray (hopper) that holds blank cards for printing.

Larger feeders suit higher-volume printing by reducing how often you reload. Output hoppers catch finished cards.

More on this in choosing the right printer for your program.

A bigger input feeder means fewer reloads, which matters when you print in large batches; the output hopper simply catches finished cards. Feeder capacity is one of the specs that separates entry-level printers from higher-volume models.
