the envelopes fit under the tabs on the guides.
Printing envelopes
1. In the printer control panel, set the paper size for Tray 1 to match the size envelope you
are printing.
2. Specify Tray 1 or select the paper source by size in the printer driver.
3. If your software does not automatically format an envelope, specify Landscape for page
orientation in your software application or printer driver. Use the guidelines in the table
that follows to set margins for return and destination addresses on Commercial #10 or
DL envelopes.
Note For envelopes of other sizes, adjust the margin settings appropriately.
4. Select Print from the software application or printer driver.

Loading detectable media into Trays 2, 3, 4, and 5
Follow this procedure to load detectable standard-size paper in the tray. The detectable
sizes are marked in the tray and include Letter, Letter-Rotated, A4, A4-Rotated, A3, 11 x 17
Legal, B4 (JIS), B5 (JIS), A5, and Executive.
CAUTION To avoid jams, never add or remove a tray during printing.
CAUTION The paper path for Tray 3 passes through Tray 2. If Tray 2 is partially pulled out or removed,
paper from Tray 3 cannot feed into the printer. This causes the printer to stop and generate
a message that Tray 2 must be installed. Similarly, Trays 2, 3, and 4 must be closed for
paper from Tray 5 to feed into the printer.
CAUTION Do not print cardstock, envelopes, or unsupported sizes of media from Tray 2, 3, 4, or 5.
Print on these types of media only from Tray 1. Do not overfill the input tray or open it while it
is in use. Doing so can cause paper jams.
