Envelopes

You can print many types of envelopes from Tray 1. Printing
performance varies depending on the construction of the envelope. It is
important to test a sample envelope before purchasing a large quantity.

To reduce envelope curl use the rear output tray.

Never use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings,
exposed self-stick adhesives, or other synthetic materials. These items
can severely damage your printer.

Never try to print on both sides of an envelope. Jamming and printer
damage can result.

Before you load envelopes in Tray 1, check to make sure they are
regular in shape and undamaged. Also, check to see that the envelopes
are not stuck together.
