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 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.

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