When the back cover (face-up output tray) is pulled down, the machine has a straight paper path from the MP tray through to the back of the machine. Use this paper feed and output method when you print on thick paper, labels, or envelopes. For acceptable print media for use in the MP tray, see the latest User's Guide in the Manuals section of this website.
 

Follow the steps below to print on envelopes, labels or thick paper from the MP tray:
