Loading Envelopes in the Rear Tray

You can load envelopes in the rear tray.

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

 Don't 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 envelopes:

    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).

    If paper is not fed correctly into the printer despite these instructions, reduce the number of sheets.

   • 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.

2. Open the rear tray cover (A) and then pull up the paper support (B).

   

3. Slide the right paper guide (C) to open both paper guides.

   

4. Load envelopes in portrait orientation WITH PRINT SIDE FACING UP.

• Envelopes​

  Fold the flap of the envelope and load the envelope in portrait orientation with the address side facing up.

  

• Medicine envelopes

  Load medicine envelopes vertically with the side that opens facing up.

  

• Delivery slips

  Load delivery slips vertically with the print side facing up.

  

5. Slide the right paper guide to align with both sides of the envelopes.

   Don't slide the paper guides too hard against the envelopes. The envelopes may not be fed properly.

   

    Don't load envelopes higher than the load limit mark (D).

   

6. If the page size and media type on the touch screen match size and type of the paper loaded in rear tray, select Yes.

   If not, select Change to change the settings in accordance with the size and type of the loaded paper.

   

    When loading a medicine envelope, select Medicine Envelope for the media type.

    When loading a delivery slip, select Delivery Slip for the media type.

7. Pull out the paper output tray (E).

   

 To prevent incorrect printing, this printer has a function that detects whether the settings for the paper loaded on the rear tray matches the paper settings. Before printing, make print settings in accordance with the paper settings. When this function is enabled, an error message is displayed if these settings don't match to prevent incorrect printing. When this error message is displayed, check and correct the paper settings.
