This section describes loading envelopes.
Misfeeds might occur depending on the length and shape of the flaps.
Make sure that there is no curling, floating, or peeling of the releasing paper on envelopes with adhesive flaps. A paper jam may occur if the releasing paper is curled or peeled off in any way.
Only envelopes that are at least 139.7 mm (5.5 inches) wide can be loaded.
To print on envelopes, load them into the Wide LCT or multi bypass tray (Tray 7), and be sure to specify an appropriate paper type.
To load envelopes, be sure to unfold their flaps and set them in the 
orientation with print side face up.
If you are copying or printing onto side-opening envelopes in the 
orientation, flaps must be at the right side of the wide LCT or multi bypass tray (Tray 7). If you are copying or printing in the orientation, flaps must be at the bottom side of the three-tray wide LCT or multi bypass tray (Tray 7). Be sure to load the envelopes with print side face up.

For information about recommended envelopes, contact your local dealer.
Storage of envelopes
Keep envelopes stored in sealed plastic bags and remove only the quantity needed. Do not add envelopes during printing, as this might cause misfeeds.
Be sure to specify the size of the envelope and flap size in [Tray Paper Settings]. For details, see Changing to a Custom Paper Size.
When using envelopes, set [Paper Weight] in [Tray Paper Settings] to the same value as two sheets of the paper used for the envelopes.
Before loading envelopes, press down on them to remove any air inside and to flatten any edges or creases. When loading envelopes, make sure they do not go over the limit mark.
Place one envelope at a time if you still get any of the following results:
The envelope jams
The envelope is not fed
Multiple envelopes are fed at the same time
Humidity levels of over 50% can cause envelopes to come out creased or misprinted.
Certain types of envelopes might come out creased, dirtied, or misprinted. If you are printing a solid color or image on an envelope, lines may appear where the overlapped edges of the envelope make it thicker.
If the horizontal size of the envelope is 297 mm (11.7 inches) or less, a paper misfeed might occur. If this happens, turn off Skew Detection. For details, see "Adjustment Settings for Operators", Paper Settings.
When printing on envelopes thicker than 127.0 g/m2 (47.0 lb. Cover), do not use [Adjust
Curl: Strong] or [Adjust 
Curl: Strong] for [Adjust Paper Curl] of [Adjustment Settings for Operators].
