How to load envelopes and postcards

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

Note

If envelopes or post cards are ‘double-feeding’, put one envelope or post card in the paper tray at a time.

Put envelopes or post cards in the paper tray with the address side down and the leading edge (top of the envelopes) in first. With both hands, gently press and slide the paper side guides (1) and paper length guide (2) to fit the size of the envelopes or post cards.

If you have problems when printing on envelopes, try the following suggestions:

1	Make sure the flap is either to the side of the envelope or to the back edge of the envelope when printing.
2	Adjust the size and margin in your application.
