When fanning envelopes, make sure the envelope flaps are not stuck together. If they are stuck together, separate them.

Before loading envelopes, flatten them out so that their curl does not exceed that shown in the illustration below.

If the curl is severe, flatten out the envelopes using your fingers, as shown in the illustration below.
