Envelopes

You can feed envelopes individually using the paper guide. Keep the following tips in mind:

❏Before loading an envelope, set the paper thickness lever to the proper position. See “Adjusting the paper-thickness lever” on page 2-28.

❏To load an envelope, follow the steps in “Running the Self Test” on page 1-13.Insert the wide edge of the envelope into the printer first, printable-side down. When you insert the envelope between the paper guides, push it firmly and hold it until it feeds into the printer.

❏Use envelopes only under normal temperature and humidity conditions.

❏Make sure the printing stays entirely within the printable area.

❏The print head must not go past the left or right edge of the envelope or other thick paper. (See “Printer Specifications” on page A-4for specifications.) It’s a good idea to print a test sample using a normal single sheet of paper before you print on envelopes.

Cards
