Loading Envelopes

Follow the steps below to load envelopes into this product.

Open the output tray and move the feeder guard towards you, then slide the left edge guide, while holding down its locking tab, so that the distance between the two edge guides is slightly wider than the width of your envelopes.

Load envelopes short edge first with the flap side down, as shown in the animation, and slide the left edge guide so that it meets the left edge of the paper. Then set the feeder guard back.

Note:

Make sure that the envelopes are loaded under the tabs inside the edge guides.

You can load up to 10 envelopes at a time in the sheet feeder.

If you are going to print a large number of envelopes, first try printing one sheet to confirm that it can be printed properly. You can then print the rest of the envelopes.

The folding quality and thickness of envelopes vary widely. If the total thickness of the stack of envelopes exceeds 10 mm, press each envelope in the stack flat before loading. If print quality declines when a stack of envelopes is loaded, load one envelope at a time.

Do not use envelopes that are curled or folded.

Flatten the envelope flaps before loading.

Flatten the loading edge of the envelope before loading.

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

Do the following if paper cannot be fed properly.
Feed envelopes with the flap side on the right side and select the Rotate 180° check box on the Page Layout menu (Windows) or the Rotate by 180 degrees check box in the Page Setup dialog box (Macintosh).
Press the four corners of the envelopes firmly with your fingers to make the envelopes flat.
