Loading Envelopes into the Multi-Purpose Tray

If you want to load the envelopes into the multi-purpose tray, follow the procedure described below to prevent the envelopes from becoming creased.

For information on how to use the multi-purpose tray, see "Loading Paper into the Multi-Purpose Tray."

Loading Envelopes

Selecting the Paper Size

NOTE
Make sure that the height of the paper stack does not exceed the loading limit mark (). If there are instructions on the paper package about which side of the paper to load, follow those instructions. When the paper is loaded into the multi-purpose tray, the side facing down is the one printed on. For more information on the print direction of preprinted paper (paper which has logos or patterns already printed on it), see "Relationship Between the Original Orientation and Paper Orientation." When you use the multi-purpose tray to make copies, straighten out curled paper prior to use, as shown below. Curled paper may cause a paper jam. * Feeding Direction To copy or print on the backside of preprinted paper by using the multi-purpose tray, fix the curling and then load the preprinted paper with the printed side face up. If you want to perform 2-Sided printing, set paper as shown in the illustration below in order to print with the same orientation of the preprinted side. 1 Feeding Direction 2 Output Direction For instructions on loading envelopes into the paper drawer, see "Loading Envelopes."

Loading Envelopes

Open the multi-purpose tray.

If you are loading large size envelopes, pull out the auxiliary tray.

NOTE
If a paper size other than envelopes is registered in [Register Multi-Purpose Tray Defaults] in [Preferences] (Settings/Registration), set [Register Multi-Purpose Tray Defaults] to 'Off'.

Prepare envelopes.

IMPORTANT
If the envelopes become filled with air, flatten them by hand before loading them into the multi-purpose tray. If envelopes are not neatly aligned before being loaded, a problem with the paper supply or a paper jam may occur. Fix any curls or bends before loading the envelopes. Multiple envelopes may pass through the machine at a time, depending on the type of envelope. In this case, load only one envelope at a time. Do not use envelopes that have glue attached to their flaps, as the glue may melt due to the heat and pressure of the fixing unit. Do not print on the flap.

Do not print on the flap.

Take five envelopes, loosen them as shown, and then stack them together.

Repeat this step five times for each set of five envelopes.

Place the envelopes on a clean, level surface, and press all the way around the envelopes by hand, in the direction of the arrows, to remove any curls.

Repeat this step five times for each set of five envelopes.

Hold down the four corners of the envelopes firmly, so that they and the sealed or glued portion stay flat.

* Flap

Press the envelope in the direction of the arrows.

IMPORTANT
Take special care to spread the envelopes out in the direction that they will be fed.

Load the envelopes into the multi-purpose tray.

Load them as shown in the figures below.


COM10 No.10 Monarch DL ISO-C5	Nagagata 3 Yougatanaga 3

IMPORTANT
ISO-B5 and Kakugata 2 are not supported. If the envelopes do not pass through the machine properly even if the procedures up to this point have been followed, repeat the procedures by feeding once for each envelope.

NOTE

If envelopes are oriented normally when loaded but wrinkle when printed, load envelopes after rotating them 180 degrees, as shown below.


COM10 No.10 Monarch DL ISO-C5	Yougatanaga 3

When printing, check that the orientation of the loaded paper matches the orientation shown on the print settings screen of the printer driver. For more information, see the online help. (See "Viewing Help.")

When copying, load originals after rotating them 180 degrees.

Adjust the slide guides.

Selecting the Paper Size

Select the desired paper size.

IMPORTANT
Set the envelope size to the same size as the envelopes loaded in the multi-purpose tray. Selecting paper or envelopes of a different size may cause a paper jam.

NOTE
If a screen prompting you to adjust the slide guides is displayed, adjust the width of the slide guides → specify the paper size → press [OK]. If a screen prompting you to adjust the slide guides or check [Register Multi-Purpose Tray Defaults] in Settings/Registration is displayed, adjust the width of the slide guides to match the paper size stored in Register Multi-Purpose Tray Defaults, or set [Register Multi-Purpose Tray Defaults] to 'Off' in [Preferences] (Settings/Registration). (See "Registering Multi-Purpose Tray Default Settings.")

Press [Envelope].

Select the type of envelope.

Select the type of envelope you loaded.

IMPORTANT
If the envelope type is not set correctly, a paper jam will occur.

Press [OK] → [Next] → [OK].

Press [OK].

If you make a mistake when specifying settings for paper loaded in the multi-purpose tray, remove the paper from the tray, place the paper back in the tray, and then specify the settings again.

IMPORTANT
Depending on the type of heavy paper you want to load, if you load multiple sheets of heavy paper into the multi-purpose tray, a paper jam may occur. In this case, load only one sheet of heavy paper at a time. If you are making two-sided prints, select the 2-Sided mode. The printed paper may crease depending on the moisture absorption condition of the paper. If you are printing on envelopes, do not allow more than 10 envelopes to accumulate in the output tray. Always empty the output tray once 10 envelopes have accumulated.
