Envelopes

You can load envelopes only in the top paper slot as described in Loading Single Sheets in the Top Paper Slot. Also, follow these guidelines:

• Load envelopes one at a time in the top slot, with the flap edge first and the flap side up.

• Set the paper thickness lever (located under the printer cover) to position 2 to 6 to match the thickness of the envelope.

• Before printing, turn on the card mode by pressing the Tear Off/Bin button until both Tear Off/Bin lights are on.
  After you finish printing on envelopes, press the Tear Off/Bin button once to exit the card mode. (Bin 1 is selected.)

• Do not use envelopes that are curled or folded. Also avoid using envelopes that are too thin; they may curl during printing and become jammed.

• If you use No. 6 envelopes, align the left edge of the envelope with the arrow mark on the printer.

• Use envelopes only under normal temperature and humidity conditions, as follows:
      Temperature      15 to 25°C (59 to 77°F)
      Humidity       30 to 60% RH

Caution:

Because printing on the edge of an envelope may damage the print head, make sure the printing stays entirely within the printable area of your envelopes. See Printable area for details on the printable area of envelopes.
