Printing on envelopes

Guidelines

■Use only the recommended envelope sizes (see page17).
■No windows or metal clasps.
■No exposed gummed surfaces.
■For best results, use light-weight, laser-quality envelopes.
■Single-sided printing only.
■Keep unused envelopes in their original packaging to avoid dust
and humidity, which can affect print-quality and cause wrinkling.
■When prompted, load a single envelope in the manual-feed slot,
aligning it along the left side.

General method for printing on envelopes

1. In your application, create a document matching the
measurements of the envelope; refer to page17 for the print area
and margins of supported envelopes.
Note
Many applications include a tool for creating an envelope. If
you are using Microsoft WORD, refer to page36 when using
Windows or page 37 when using a Macintosh. When using
other Macintosh applications, refer to page38. For other
applications, refer to your application’s documentation.
2. From your application or printer driver, make these selections:
■Set the orientation to Landscape.
■Select your envelope size.
■Select ManualFeed-Paper as the Paper Source.
■If your application has a tool for creating envelopes, select
the feed method that matches the illustration in Step4.
3. Send the job to the printer.
