Before you print envelopes, please note the following.
-
Take care when selecting the settings for envelopes, because choosing them incorrectly may result in printing on the wrong side or in the wrong direction.
-
Do not use envelopes with tape seals. Printing on some types of pre-glued envelopes may not be possible, depending on the condition of the adhesive. We recommend using envelopes designed for laser printers.
-
Do not use paper larger than 215.9 mm (8.5 in.) wide and 355.6 mm (14.0 in.) long.
-
Using poor-quality envelopes can cause creasing and deteriorate print quality.
-
The following is an example of how to print the address on an envelope.
Follow the procedure below to load envelopes into any of the paper trays.
(Paper tray 1 is shown in the illustrations.)
-
Place the paper tray on a flat surface.
-
Remove the lid of the tray.
-
If the base plate of the paper tray is raised, push it down.
-
Squeeze the length guide and slide it to fit the envelopes.
-
Squeeze the right width guide and slide it to fit the envelopes.
-
Load the envelopes with the side to be printed facing up and with all 4 corners aligned.
- Do not load envelopes exceeding the maximum capacity allowed.
- Align the right width guide with the envelope width correctly. If the right width guide is not in place, the envelope will not be properly fed and may cause a paper jam.
- The flap must be placed face down with the flap on the right side edge.
-
Replace the lid of the paper tray.
The lid of the tray must be firmly seated. If not, the paper might be misaligned.
