Loading envelopes into the envelope feeder unit

The following explanation uses the example of installing the envelope feeder unit in "Tray 2".

Important

  • Even if the optional envelope feeder is not installed, you can select envelope sizes for Tray 2 and Tray 3 using the control panel. However, you cannot load envelopes until the optional envelope feeder unit is installed.

  • With the optional envelope feeder unit, you can load up to 60 envelopes at the same time.

  • Confirm that the envelope flaps are securely folded down, and that there is no air inside the envelopes.

  • Do not slide the paper tray in with force. If you do, the front and side guides might move.

1Pull the optional paper feed unit (Tray 2) out until it stops. Then, lift it slightly, and then slide it out.
