Envelopes

Not supported

Maintenance

Default: [Envelope 1]

If prints made using the paper tray show heavy smudging, use the following procedure to change the paper type setting from the control panel:

• Press the [Menu] key, select [Maintenance], [General Settings], and then select [Envelope Setting]. Select the paper tray, and then select one from [Envelope 1], [Envelope 2], [Envelope 3], or [Envelope 4].

When specifying paper thickness, remember that a higher number indicates greater thickness. Also, because the paper thickness will normally be detected automatically, change this setting only if a print problem occurs.

Additional cautions

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

• For optimum print results, we recommend you set at least 15 mm (0.6 inches) for the left print margin, and at least 10 mm (0.4 inches) for the right, top, and bottom margins.

• 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 differing 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.
