Printing Envelopes from Tray 1

With the optional envelope feeder, the printer will automatically feed up to 100 envelopes. To order an envelope feeder, see page 36. To print with the envelope feeder, see page 107.

Many types of envelopes can be printed from Tray 1. (Up to 10 can be stacked in the tray.) Printing performance depends on the construction of the envelope. Always test a few sample envelopes before purchasing a large quantity.

z Set margins at least 0.6 in.(15 mm) from the edge of the envelope.

WARNING! Never use envelopes with coated linings, exposed self-stick adhesives, or other synthetic materials. These items can emit noxious fumes.

CAUTION Envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, exposed self-stick adhesives, or other synthetic materials can severely damage the printer.

To avoid jamming and possible printer damage, never try to print on both sides of an envelope.

Before you load envelopes, make sure they are flat and not damaged or stuck together. Do not use envelopes with pressure-sensitive adhesive. (For envelope specifications, see page 267.)
