IMPORTANT

Do not forcefully move the front and left guides of the paper drawer in the wrong direction. Doing so may damage the paper drawer.
Do not print on both sides of an envelope. Doing so may cause paper jams, dirty prints, or make the inside of the machine dirty.
Do not load the following types of envelopes inside the envelope cassette. Doing so may cause paper jams, dirty prints, or make the inside of the machine dirty.
Curled, creased, or folded envelopes
Very thick or thin envelopes
Damp or wet envelopes
Torn envelopes
Irregularly shaped envelopes
Envelopes with clasps or windows
Envelopes that have already been sealed
Envelopes with holes or perforations
Envelopes with specially coated surfaces
Envelopes made of surface treated colored paper
Envelopes that are self-sticking, which use ink, glue, or other substances that can melt, burn, vaporize, or emit smells under the heat of a fixing unit (approximately 200°C). Depending on the materials used for the seal, the glue may melt under the fixing unit's heat, sealing the envelopes.
If you are printing on envelopes, empty the output tray when up to 10 printed envelopes accumulate in the tray.
Envelopes should be stored in a place away from high-temperatures and humidity.
If there is a temperature difference between the location where the envelopes are stored and the location where the envelopes are being printed, leave the envelopes in the printing location at room temperature before you use them.
Correctly match the [Paper Settings] in [Preferences] (Settings/Registration) with the size of the envelopes being loaded. Failure to do so may cause paper jams, dirty prints, or make the inside of the machine dirty.

Preparing the Envelopes
This section explains how to prepare the envelopes before loading them into the paper drawer.
|
IMPORTANT
|
|
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.
|
1.
Take five envelopes, loosen them as shown, and then stack them together.
Repeat this step five times for each set of five envelopes.
2.
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.
3.
Hold down the four corners of the envelopes firmly, so that they and the sealed or glued portion stay flat.

|
If you use envelopes that have glue attached to their flaps, the glue may melt due to the heat and pressure of the fixing unit.
Do not print on the back side of the envelopes (the side with the flap).
If the envelopes become filled with air, flatten them by hand before loading them into the Paper Drawer 1.
