Envelopes

You can use the manual insertion slot to print on individual envelopes.

•Always load envelopes manually through the rear slot.

•Before loading an envelope, lower the flap on the printer’s rear slot.

•Always feed envelopes by inserting the wide edge into the printer first, as shown.

. Use envelopes under normal operating conditions only.

. Printing on the edge of an envelope can damage the print head. Make sure your software program keeps the printing entirely within the printable area of the envelope.

Multi-part forms

You can use carbonless continuous multi-part forms of up to three parts (one original plus two copies).

•Load multi-part forms with the push tractor only. You load multi-part continuous paper the same way as ordinary continuous paper.

•Use only multi-part forms joined with spot-gluing that is free of wrinkles and waves. Never print on multi-part forms joined with metal staples, tape, or continuous gluing.

•If you need to adjust the top-of-form position, use your software or change the default top-of-form position. You may have to experiment to get the setting you want.

Labels
