Loading Envelopes in the Rear Tray

 Important

• Printing of envelopes from the operation panel or from a PictBridge (Wi-Fi) compliant device is not supported.

• Do not use the following envelopes. They could jam in the printer or cause the printer 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 the 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.
      

   • Use a pen to press the leading edge in the inserting direction flat and sharpen the crease.

     
     
      

     The figures above show a side view of the leading edge of the envelope.

   
    Important

   • The envelopes may jam in the printer if they are not flat or the edges are not aligned. Make sure that no curl or puff exceeds 0.12 in. (3 mm).

 Note

• To prevent incorrect printing, this printer has a function that detects whether the paper loaded in the rear tray matches the paper settings registered on the printer. Before printing, specify the print settings so that they match with the paper settings on the printer. When this function is enabled, an error message is displayed if these settings do not match to prevent incorrect printing. When this error message is displayed, check and correct the paper settings on the computer, or open and close the feed slot cover and register the paper information again.
