Setting Envelopes Using the Control Panel

Follow the procedure below to set the machine using the control panel when loading envelopes onto the bypass tray.

If you select [Machine Settings] from [Bypass Tray Setting Priority] in [System] of [Printer Features], the settings made using the control panel have priority over the printer driver settings.
If the printer driver is not used, select [Machine Settings] from [Bypass Tray Setting Priority] in [System] of [Printer Features]. Set paper size using the control panel.
If printed envelopes come out badly creased, load the envelopes in the opposite direction, and then rotate the print object by 180 degrees using the printer driver before printing. For details, see the printer driver Help.
Check there is no air in the envelopes before loading.
You cannot print envelopes with duplex function.
Load only one size and type of envelope at a time.
Before loading envelopes, flatten leading edges (the side going into the machine) by pressing a pencil or ruler across them.
Before loading envelopes, check they are rectangular in shape.
