Printing on Special Paper

Envelopes

You can load envelopes individually using the single sheet loading feature from the top paper guide only. If you want to load several envelopes at the same time, you can install the optional single-bin cut-sheet feeder. See Chapter 4 for a description of loading envelopes with the cut-sheet feeder.

Before loading an envelope, set the position of the paper-thickness lever to position 2, 3, or 4, depending on the thickness of the envelope. To load an envelope, follow the steps described in loading single sheets from the top, earlier in this chapter.

Note:

•The print head must not print past the left or right edge of the envelope or other thick paper. Make sure that your application program keeps printing entirely within the printable area of the envelope you are using.

•

•

Always keep the longer side of the envelope horizontal.

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