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 the media size should be set to the size corresponding to the correct envelope size.
1Set the media size for Tray 1 in the printer control panel. (See “Configuring Tray 1 as a cassette” on page 76.)
2Specify Tray 1 or select the media source by size (for example, COM 10 or DL) in the printer driver.
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.

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.
