Loading envelopes and post cards

Loading envelopes

•	Use envelopes that weigh from 20 to 25 lb (75 to 95 g/m²).
•	Some envelopes need margin settings to be set in the application. Make sure you do a test print first.

CAUTION

Do not use any of the following types of envelopes, as they will cause paper feed problems:

•	If they are of a baggy construction.
•	That are embossed (have raised writing on them).
•	That have clasps or staples.
•	That are pre-printed on the inside.

Glue	Double flap

Occasionally you may experience paper feed problems caused by the thickness, size and flap shape of the envelopes you are using.

How to load envelopes and post cards

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

Note

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

Put the envelopes or post cards into the paper tray with the address side down and the leading edge (top of the envelopes) in first. 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	Open the envelope flap.
2	Make sure the open flap is either to the side of the envelope or to the back edge of the envelope when printing.
3	Adjust the size and margin in your application.

Note

When the machine ejects small paper onto the output paper tray you may not be able to reach it. Make sure printing has finished, and then pull the tray completely out of the machine.
