Printing on Envelopes
CAUTION
Before you load envelopes in Tray 1,
make sure they are undamaged and are
not stuck together. Never use envelopes
with clasps, snaps, windows, coated
linings, self-stick adhesives, or other
synthetic materials. For more
information, see Media Specifications.

Open Tray 1 by pulling the front

2
Open the rear output bin by pulling
down on the top section of the bin.
Slide out the extender until it
extends fully.
Note
Using the rear output bin reduces
envelope curl.

4
Place the envelopes into the tray
short-edge in, print-side up. The
stamp end must enter the printer
first.
5
Slide the width guides inward until
they lightly touch the envelope stack
without bending it. The envelopes
should be centered between the
paper guides and under the tabs on
the paper width guides.
Note
If the envelope has a flap on the short
edge, this edge must enter the printer
first.
You may experience some paper jams
when using any media with a length
less than 178 mm (7 in.). This may be
caused by paper that has been affected
by environmental conditions. For
optimum performance, make sure you
are storing and handling the paper
correctly (see Printing and Paper
Storage Environment). Using media
from another manufacturer may
also help.
