Loading Envelopes

Load envelopes in cassette 1.

Once you have set up the printer driver correctly, addresses are automatically rotated and printed to suit the envelope orientation.

Important

  • Do not use the following envelopes. These kinds of envelops may become stuck or cause the machine to malfunction.

    • Envelopes with embossed or coated surfaces
    • Envelopes with a double flap
    • Envelopes with adhesive flaps that are already moistened

Note

  1. Prepare the envelopes.

    • To flatten the envelopes, press down on the corners and edges.

    • If the envelopes are curled, hold opposite corners and gently bend them the opposite way.

    • Flatten any flaps that are bent.

    • Using a pen, press the leading edge in the direction of insertion to flatten the envelope.

  2. Pull out cassette 1.

  3. Slide the front (A) and right (B) paper guides out to make room for the paper.

  4. Load the envelopes face-DOWN, centered in cassette 1.

    The flap will face up, as shown below.

    Up to 10 envelopes can be loaded at once.

    Note

    • Align the stack of envelopes with the edge of cassette 1 as shown.

      Feeding problems may occur if the envelopes are touching the protrusion (C).

  5. Align the front paper guide (A) with the edge of the envelopes.

  6. Slide the right paper guide (B) to align the right and left guides with both edges of the envelopes.

    Do not set the paper guides too firmly against the envelopes, which may cause feeding problems.

    Note

    • Do not load envelopes past the load limit mark (D).
    • Keep the stack height below the paper guide tabs (E).

    Push cassette 1 into the machine until it stops.
