Loading envelopes and postcards

About envelopes

•	Use envelopes that weigh between 80 to 95 g/m².
•	Some envelopes need margin settings to be set in the application. Make sure you do a test print first before printing many envelopes.

IMPORTANT

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

•	That 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.

Loading envelopes and postcards

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

IMPORTANT

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

Put envelopes or postcards into the paper tray with the side to be printed on face down, and the shortest edge in first as shown in the illustration. 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 postcards.

If you have problems printing on envelopes with the flap on the short edge, try the following:

1	Open the envelope flap.
2	Put the envelope into the paper tray with the address side down and the flap positioned as shown in the illustration.
3	Adjust the size and margin in your application.
