This section describes how to load envelopes with the proper orientation, as well as procedures that you need to complete before loading envelopes. For a description of the general procedure for loading envelopes in the paper drawer or multi-purpose tray, see Basic Paper Loading Method.

Before Loading Envelopes
Follow the procedure below to prepare the envelopes before loading.

|
Wrinkles may occur depending on the type of envelopes or the storage environment for the envelopes.

1
Check the flaps on the envelopes.
These envelopes can be loaded with the flaps open or closed: Yougatanaga 3, Yougata 4, Yougata 6, Monarch, COM10, DL, ISO-C5.
Do not close the flap for Nagagata 3, Nagagata 4, or Kakugata 2.
2
Flatten them to release any remaining air, and make sure that the edges are pressed tightly.
3
Loosen any stiff corners of the envelopes and flatten any curls.
4
Align the edges of the envelopes on a flat surface.

Yougatanaga 3, Yougata 4, Yougata 6, Monarch, COM10 No.10, DL, ISO-C5
If the flaps are closed, load the envelopes so that their flaps are on the far side.
If the flaps are open, do not close them, and load the envelopes so that their flaps are on the far side.
Envelopes with flaps open more than 1 15/16 inches (50 mm) cannot be loaded. Close the flaps first.
Nagagata 3, Nagagata 4
Load the envelopes so that their flaps are on the left side.

Be careful that the paper guides are not squeezing the envelopes.
If the envelopes are squeezed, they may not be fed correctly. If envelopes are not fed from the paper drawer, try feeding them from the multi-purpose tray.
Envelopes cannot be loaded in paper drawer 2, 3, or 4.

Loading Envelopes in the Multi-Purpose Tray
Load the envelopes as shown in the following illustrations, with the front side of the envelopes (the side without the glued areas) face down.
Yougatanaga 3, Yougata 4, Yougata 6, Monarch, COM10 No.10, DL, ISO-C5
If the flaps are closed, load the envelopes so that their flaps are on the far side.
If the flaps are open, do not close them, and load the envelopes so that their flaps are on the far side.
Envelopes with flaps open more than 1 15/16 inches (50 mm) cannot be loaded. Close the flaps first.

If the envelopes are not fed properly even if they have been prepared according to the procedures, load only half or less of the number of envelopes.
If the envelopes are still not fed properly, load them individually in the multi-purpose tray instead of loading several together. |
