Description

This article provides information on loading envelopes into the PIXMA MG5420 / MG5422.

 

Solution

You can load European DL and US #10 envelopes.

The address is automatically rotated and printed according to the envelope's direction by specifying with the printer driver properly.

 Important

 You can only print on envelopes with the computer.

 Do not use the following envelopes. They could jam in the machine or cause the machine to malfunction.

- Envelopes with an embossed or treated surface

- Envelopes with a double flap

- Envelopes whose gummed flaps are already moistened and adhesive

  1. Prepare envelopes.

     Press down on all four corners and edges of the envelopes to flatten them.

     If the envelopes are curled, hold the opposite corners and gently twist them in the opposite direction.

     If the corner of the envelope flap is folded, flatten it.

     Important

     The envelopes may jam in the machine if they are not flat or the edges are not aligned. Make sure that no curl or puff exceeds 0.1 inches (3 mm).

     Do not flatten the leading edge of envelopes. Otherwise, the printing position may shift out of place.

  2. Load envelopes.

    (1) Pull out the cassette (lower) from the machine.

    (2) Slide the paper guide (A) in front and (B) on the right to open the guides.

    (3) Load the envelopes WITH THE PRINT SIDE FACING DOWN, and place them in the center of the cassette (lower).

    The folded flap of the envelope will be faced up on the left side.

    (C) Rear side

    (D) Address side

    Up to 10 envelopes can be loaded at once.

     Note

     Align the envelope stack with the edge of the cassette (lower) as shown in the figure below.

    If the envelopes are in contact with the protrusion (E), the envelopes may not be fed properly.

    (4) Align the paper guide (A) in front with the envelopes.

    (5) Slide the paper guide (B) on the right to align the right and left guides with sides of the envelopes.

    Do not slide the paper guides too hard against the envelopes. The envelopes may not be fed properly.

     Note

     Do not load envelopes higher than the load limit mark (F).

     Keep the envelope stack height below the tabs (G) of the paper guides.

    (6) Insert the cassette (lower) into the machine.

    Push the cassette (lower) into the machine until it stops.

  3. Open the paper output tray.

    (1) Holding sides of the paper output tray, gently open it.

    The output tray extension opens automatically when the paper output tray is opened.

    (2) Extend the paper output support.

 Note
  • After loading envelopes, select the size and type of the loaded envelopes on the print settings screen of the printer driver.

    Click here if you have a Windows PC.

     
  • If you have a Mac, you may need to specify that you are printing on an envelope from the Page Setup dialog, or from Quality & Media in the Print dialog, depending on what program you are printing from.
