CAUTION

To print on envelopes from a program

1Load envelopes into Tray 1.

2In your program or in the printer driver, select Tray 1, as the source.

3Set the appropriate envelope size and type. For envelope specifications, see Media specifications.

4If your program does not automatically format for an envelope, specify “Portrait” for page orientation.

To avoid a jam, do not remove or insert an envelope after you begin printing.

5Set margins to within 15 mm (0.6 inch) from the edge of the envelope. For best print quality, set margins for a return and mailing address (typical address margins for a Commercial #10 or DL envelope are offered). Avoid printing over the area where the three back flaps meet on the back of an envelope.

6To print by type and size of paper, see Specifying paper to print on.

7Select the upper left bin as the output location.

8When finished printing on envelopes, return the fuser levers to the down position.

Failure to return levers to the down position for standard paper types can result in poor print quality.

Printing on special paper

This section contains guidelines for printing on special media, which includes letterhead, labels, transparencies, custom-size paper, and heavy paper, and printing on full-bleed paper.

Printing on letterhead, prepunched paper, or preprinted paper (single-sided)

When printing on letterhead, prepunched, or preprinted paper, be sure to correctly orient the paper. See Orienting media for instructions.

If the paper is heavier than 199 g/m2 (53 lb bond) and lighter than 216 g/m2 (58 lb bond), load the paper only in Tray 1. See Media specifications.

Printing on letterhead, prepunched paper, or preprinted paper (double-sided)

When printing on letterhead, prepunched, or preprinted paper, be sure to correctly orient the paper. See Orienting media for instructions.

When printing on both sides of prepunched paper, you must select prepunched paper as the paper type in the Paper Handling menu at the control panel, or select prepunched paper in the printer driver.

Printing on labels

Orient labels according to the guidelines in Orienting media.

Print a stack of up to 50 sheets of labels from Tray 1.

Use only labels recommended for laser printers. Make sure that the labels meet the correct specifications. (See Media specifications and Labels for more information.)

CAUTION

Failure to follow these instructions can damage the MFP.
