Printing on Envelopes | Canon BJ-30 guide

Printing on Envelopes

You can stack up to five envelopes in the sheet feeder. U.S. Commercial number 10 (COM10) envelopes and European DL envelopes are recommended. You may be able to stack envelopes of other sizes in the sheet feeder; however, Canon cannot guarantee consistent performance on envelope sizes other than COM10 and DL.

The following envelopes are not recommended because they may cause jams or smears, or may damage your printer:

❏Envelopes with windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, and double flaps.

❏Envelopes made with special coated paper or deeply embossed paper.

❏Envelopes using peel-off sealing strips.

❏Envelopes in which letters have been enclosed.

When you are ready to print on envelopes, follow these steps to stack envelopes in the sheet feeder.

1.Make sure the paper support is open and move the paper guide to the left to match the width of the envelopes.
