Handling Paper
Envelopes
Envelopes should be fed in the
Since the composition of an envelope is more complex than that of ordinary paper, it is not always possible to ensure consistent printing quality over the entire envelope surface.
Normally, envelopes have a diagonal grain direction. See Paper Grain on

envelopes pass through the printer. Before purchasing envelopes, make a test print to check whether the printer accepts the envelope.
•Do not use envelopes that have an encapsulated liquid adhesive.
•Avoid a long printing session for envelopes only. Extended envelope printing can cause premature printer wear.
•If jams occur, try setting a lesser number of envelopes on the MP tray.
•To avoid jams caused by curled envelopes, stack no more than 10 printed envelopes on the output tray.
Thick Paper
Fan the stack of paper and align the edges before loading them in the MP tray. Some types of paper have rough edges on the back (those are created when the paper is cut). In this case, put the paper on a flat place and rub the edges once or twice with, for example, a ruler to smooth them. Feeding rough edged paper may cause paper jams.
NOTE: If the paper jams even after you smooth it out, load the paper in the MP Tray with the leading edge raised up a few millimeters as shown in the illustration.
Colored Paper
Colored paper should satisfy the same conditions as white bond paper, refer to Paper Specifications, on page
