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 0.1 inch (3 mm).
