IF YOU USE ANY OF THE TYPES OF ENVELOPES LISTED ABOVE, THEY MAY DAMAGE YOUR

Before you print envelopes, you must fan the stack to avoid paper jams and misfeeds.

Do not put different types of paper in the paper tray at the same time because it may cause paper
jams or misfeeds.

For proper printing, you must choose the same paper size from your software application as the
paper in the tray.
