Loading Envelopes

Follow these steps to load envelopes:

Open the paper support, then slide out the extension.

Slide out the front tray.

Pinch the locking tab on the left edge guide and slide the guide to the left.

Load envelopes short edge first with the flap facing down and to the left. Then slide the left edge guide against the left edge of the envelopes, but not too tightly.


Note:

  • The thickness of envelopes and their ability to fold vary widely. If the total thickness of the stack of envelopes exceeds 10 mm, press down on the envelopes to flatten them before loading. If print quality declines when a stack of envelopes is loaded, load one envelope at a time.

  • You can print up to 10 envelopes at a time, but always load one extra envelope to help the final envelope feed correctly into the printer. For example, when printing 10 envelopes, load 11 envelopes.

  • Do not use envelopes that are curled or folded.

  • Flatten the envelope flaps before loading.

  • Flatten the leading edge of the envelope before loading.

  • Avoid using envelopes that are too thin, as they may curl during printing.
