Loading envelopes

When inserting envelopes in the bypass tray, place them aligned to the left side in the orientation shown below. Only the front side of envelopes can be printed on. Be sure to place the front side face down.

When loading envelopes, load one envelope at a time.

• Do not print on both sides of an envelope. This may result in misfeeds or poor print quality.

• Some operating environments may cause creasing, smudging, misfeeds, poor toner fusing, or machine failure.
