How To / Paper Handling

Loading Envelopes

When printing on envelopes, please note the following:

You can load up to 10 envelopes into the sheet feeder.

Note:

The folding quality and thickness of envelopes varies widely. If the total thickness of the stack of envelopes exceeds 10 mm, press each envelope in the stack flat before loading.

Set the adjust lever to the "+" position.

Note:

Return the adjust lever to the "0" position, which is the normal position, after you finish printing on envelopes. Leaving the lever in the "+" position may cause gaps to appear in images printed on other media.

When the adjust lever is in the "+" position, make sure the High Speed setting in the printer driver's Advanced dialog box is off. To turn this option off, you may also need to change the Print Quality setting.

Load envelopes flap edge first with the flap side down, as shown in the illustration.

Do not use envelopes that are curled or folded. Make sure to flatten the envelope flaps before loading. Also avoid using envelopes that are too thin, as they may curl during printing.

Select Plain Paper as the Media Type setting in the printer driver.
