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

  • With the 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.

  • Select "Asterisk" on the paper size dial.

  • Using the control panel, specify the paper size according to the size of the envelope. When printing, match the paper size setting in the printer driver to the size selected on the printer.

  • For details about the printer driver, see the printer driver Help.
