Loading Envelopes

Important

• Do not use the following envelopes. They could jam in the printer or cause the printer to malfunction.

  • Envelopes with an embossed or treated surface
  • Envelopes with a double flap
  • Envelopes whose gummed flaps are already moistened and adhesive

1. Prepare envelopes.

   • Press down on all four corners and edges of the envelopes to flatten them.

     

   • If the envelopes are curled, hold the opposite corners and gently twist them in the opposite direction.

     
   • If the corner of the envelope flap is folded, flatten it.

   • Use a pen to press the leading edge in the inserting direction flat and sharpen the crease.

     

     The figures above show a side view of the leading edge of the envelope.

   Important

   • The envelopes may jam in the printer if they are not flat or the edges are not aligned. Make sure that no curl or puff exceeds 0.12 inch (3 mm).

2. Load envelopes.

   1. Open the paper support.

   2. Pull out the paper output tray and the output tray extension.

      

   3. Slide the paper guide (A) to the left, and load the envelopes against the far right of the rear tray WITH THE PRINT SIDE FACING YOU.

      Fold flap of the envelope and load the envelope in the portrait orientation with the address side facing up.

      Up to 5 envelopes can be loaded at once.

   4. Slide the paper guide (A) to align it with the envelopes.

      Do not slide the paper guide too hard against the envelopes. The envelopes may not be fed properly.

      

      Note

      • Do not load envelopes higher than the load limit mark (B).

        

Note

• The printer may make operating noise when feeding envelopes.
• After loading envelopes, select the size and type of the loaded envelopes on the print settings screen of the printer driver.
