Printing on Envelopes

You can stack up to 15 envelopes in the sheet feeder or you can manually feed envelopes one at a time.

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.
