  • Load paper with the print side face down in Trays 1-3.

  • Load paper with the print side face up in the bypass tray.

  • Printing on envelopes

    • Before loading envelopes, make sure their edges are sharply creased by rubbing the edges with a pen or similar object.

    • Load envelopes with their flaps closed.
