Before loading, press the corners and sides of the envelopes to make them as flat as possible.

When you load a different paper size in the tray, you must change the Paper Size setting in the machine or on your computer at the same time.

  1. Open the machine's back cover (the face up output tray).

    • Load the envelope into the manual feed slot with the printing surface facing up.
    • Pull the envelope out completely when you reload the envelope into the manual feed slot.
    • Do not put more than one envelope in the manual feed slot at one time, as it may cause a jam.
    • Make sure the envelope is straight and in the correct position on the manual feed slot. If it is not, the envelope may not be fed correctly, resulting in a skewed printout or a paper jam.
  6. Send your print job to the machine.
