Preparation for Printing

1 Press down on all four corners and edges of the envelopes to flatten them as shown in 2 below.

2 If the envelopes are curled, hold the opposite corners and gently bend them in the opposite direction.

Ensure that the flap of the envelope is perfectly straight.

 

3 If the leading edge of an envelope is puffed up or curled, use a pen to press the envelope flat and sharpen the crease.

Press the envelope completely flat, working from the middle to the edge.

 

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

Envelopes may jam in the printer if they are not completely flat and the edges are not aligned.
Ensure that no curl or puff exceeds 3 mm (0.1 in).

 Unsuitable Envelopes

 Envelopes with an embossed or treated surface

 Envelopes with a double flap or pressure seals

 Loading

 Place envelopes lengthwise with the flap to the left and the address side facing upwards.

 A maximum of 5 envelopes can be loaded at once.

 

 Set the Paper Thickness Lever (gray) to the left.

Note

If the envelopes do not feed properly, even after removing curl, clean the Paper Feed Roller. See Paper Does Not Feed Properly or Paper Jams Also, if you decrease the number of paper loaded, it may be fed successfully.
