How do I print envelopes from the manual feed slot in Windows applications?
Use the following steps for printing on envelopes.
The Paper LED will flash indicating No Paper Fed Manual Feed Slot. The Paper LED will flash until you put an envelope in the manual feed slot.
If you choose not to lift up the output tray support flap, we recommend that you remove the envelopes as soon as they come out of the printer.
Put the envelope into the manual feed slot with the side to be printed face up. Make sure the envelope is straight and in the proper position in the manual feed slot. If it is not the envelope may not be fed properly, resulting in a skewed printout or paper jam. Do not put more than one envelope in the manual feed slot at any one time as it may cause a jam. If you put an envelope in the manual feed slot before the printer is in the Ready State with the Paper LED flashing, the envelope may be ejected without being printed on.
Envelope joints that are sealed by the manufacturer should be secure. All sides of the envelope should be properly folded without wrinkles or creases. Remove each envelope immediately after printing. Stacking envelopes may cause the envelope to jam or curl. For types of envelopes to avoid, refer to the User's Guide page 1-16.
