Printing envelopes when TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE

For the best results when printing envelopes, Tray 1 should be configured as TRAY 1 MODE=CASSETTE and media size should be set to the size corresponding to the envelopes you are printing on.

1Set the media size for Tray 1 in the printer control panel. (See “Configuring Tray 1” earlier in this chapter.)

2Specify Tray 1 or select media source by size (for example, COM 10 or DL).

3If your software does not automatically format an envelope, specify Landscape for page orientation in your software application or printer driver. Use the following guidelines to set margins for return and destination addresses on Commercial #10 or DL envelopes.

		Address Type	Left Margin	Top Margin
		Return	15 mm (0.6 in)	15 mm (0.6 in)
		Destination	102 mm (4.0 in)	51 mm (2.0 in)
Note	For envelopes of other sizes, adjust the margin settings appropriately.

4Select Print from the software application or printer driver.

Printing envelopes when TRAY 1 MODE=FIRST

If Tray 1 is configured as TRAY 1 MODE=FIRST (default), select Tray 1 or use autoselect and then print the file from your software application or the printer driver. In this mode, the printer will pull media from the tray regardless of the size and type of media loaded. If your software does not automatically format an envelope, follow the instructions provided in the previous section.
