This section describes how to load envelopes with the proper orientation, as well as procedures that you need to complete before loading envelopes. For a description of the general procedure for loading envelopes in the multi-purpose tray, see Basic Paper Loading Method. You can also load envelopes in the optional Envelope Cassette Module-A. Envelope Cassette Module-A |
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. Wrinkles may occur depending on the type of envelopes or the storage environment for the envelopes. Streaks may appear where envelopes overlap. |
Load the envelopes as shown in the following illustrations, with the front side of the envelopes (the side without the glued areas) face down (recommended). |
Close the flaps, and load the envelopes so that their flaps are on the near side. |
If the envelopes are not fed properly even if they have been prepared according to the procedures, load the envelopes individually in the multi-purpose tray instead of loading several sheets together. Do not print on the reverse side of the envelopes (the side with the glued areas). |
When you print on envelopes, remove them from the output tray 10 at a time. |
