Loading Envelopes

You can load envelopes one at a time using the paper guide on the top of the printer, or you can load multiple envelopes using the optional high-capacity cut-sheet feeder (bin 1 of the double-bin cut-sheet feeder).

Before loading envelopes, set the paper thickness lever to a position from 2 (for thin envelopes) to 6 (for thick envelopes).

To load single envelopes, follow the instructions in “Loading paper in the paper guide” on page 4-4. To load multiple envelopes, see “Loading paper in the high-capacity cut-sheet feeder” on page A-10.

Note:

oAs shown above, place the envelope printable side down and insert the top edge of the envelope into the printer first.

oThe print head must not print past the left or right edge of the envelope or other thick paper. Make sure your application program prints entirely within the printable area of your envelope. See Appendix C for more information on the printable area of envelopes.

oIf you are using No. 6 envelopes, make sure the left edge guide is aligned with the arrow on the paper guide.
