IMPORTANT
|
|
When you attach the envelope feeder attachment to the paper drawer, do not forcefully move the front and side 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 or dirty prints, or make the inside of the machine dirty.
Correctly define the Envelope Cassette settings to match the size of the envelopes being loaded. Failure to do so may cause paper jams or dirty prints, or make the inside of the machine dirty.
Do not load the following types of envelopes in the envelope cassette, as they may cause paper jams or 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 the 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 want to adjust the width guides to load ISO-C5 or ISO-B5 envelopes, contact your local authorized Canon dealer.

NOTE
|
|
When printing on envelopes, empty the output tray once 10 envelopes have accumulated in the tray.
Envelopes should be stored in a place away from heat and humidity.
If there is a temperature difference between the location where the envelopes were stored and the location where the envelopes are being printed, leave the envelopes in the printing location at room temperature before you use them.

Preparing Envelopes
Before loading envelopes in the paper drawer, prepare the envelopes as described below.
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 in the direction of the arrows to remove any curls. Repeat this step five times for each set of five envelopes.
Take particular care to spread the envelopes out in the direction that they will be fed.
3
Hold down the top edge of the envelopes firmly, so that the flaps stay flat.
|
NOTE
|
|
If the envelopes become filled with air, flatten them by hand before loading them in the paper drawer.
If you feed envelopes that have glue attached to their flaps, the glue may melt due to the heat and pressure of the fixing unit.
