Envelopes

You can feed envelopes one at a time using the paper guide, 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 position 3, 4, or 6, depending on the thickness of the envelopes. See page 18 for more information.

To load single envelopes, follow the instructions under “Loading Single Sheets with the Paper Guide” on page 26. Be sure to place the envelope printable side down and insert the top edge of the envelope into the printer first.

To load multiple envelopes, see the Reference Guide.

Note:

❏The 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 “Printer Specifications” in the Reference Guide for more information on the printable area of envelopes.

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

Postcards

You can feed postcards one at a time using the paper guide, or you can load multiple cards using the optional high-capacity cut-sheet feeder (bin 1 of the double-bin cut-sheet feeder). The cards can be loaded only in the front or rear paper slot.

Before loading postcards, set the paper-thickness lever to position 2 and set the paper release lever to the single-sheet position.
