Loading envelopes

Important

  • Check there is no air in the envelopes before loading.

  • Load only one size and type of envelope at a time.

  • Before loading envelopes, flatten their leading edges (the edge going into the printer) by running a pencil or ruler across them.

  • Some kinds of envelope might cause misfeeds, wrinkles or print poorly.

  • Print quality on envelopes may be uneven if parts of an envelope have different thicknesses. Print one or two envelopes to check print quality.

  • In a hot and humid environment, the envelope might be output creased or improper printing quality.

Note

  • Be sure to load envelopes so that their flaps are on the right. If you do not, the envelopes will become creased.

  • To prevent the envelopes becoming creased, go to the [Setup] tab and select [Rotate by 180 degrees] for [Orientation:] when printing in the printer driver properties dialog box.
