  • Check the envelopes are not damp.

  • Load only as much envelopes as can be held between the paper guides on the bypass tray. For the number of envelopes that you can set on the bypass tray, see “Recommended Paper Sizes and Types”, About This Machine.

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

  • 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.

  • To get better print quality, it is recommended that you set the leading-edge print margin to at least 15 mm (0.6 inches) and the other margins to at least 10 mm (0.4 inches) each.

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

  • For details about supported envelope types, see “Envelopes”, About This Machine.
