Loading Envelopes into the Bypass Tray

While pressing and holding the bypass tray open lever in the upper center of the bypass tray, pull the tray open.

Fan envelopes, and then align their edges before loading.

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.

If envelopes are severely curled after printing, flatten them by bending them back against the curl.

Set the envelope in bypass tray with the print side down.

Adjust both sides of the paper guide to match the envelope width.
