To print on envelopes

1Open tray 1 and slide out the extender fully. If tray 1 is already open, remove any paper or other print media from it.

2On the back of the printer, lower the rear output door to prevent the envelopes from curling.

3Slide the width guides in tray 1 outward until they are slightly wider than the envelopes.

4Place the stack of envelopes into the tray with the side to be printed up and the short edge in. The stamp end must enter the printer first.

Note

If the envelope has a flap on a short edge, this edge must enter the printer first.

5Slide the width guides inward until they lightly touch the stack without bending it. The stack should be centered between the guides and must be under the tabs on the guides.

6Choose the envelope you are using as the Size (Windows) or the Paper Source (Macintosh) from the Print dialog box or the printer driver.
