    „ Some envelopes need margin settings to 
    be set in the application. Make sure you 
    do a test print first.
    CAUTION 
    DO NOT use any of the following types of 
    envelopes, as they will cause paper feed 
    problems:
    • If they are of a baggy construction.
    • That are embossed (have raised writing  on them).
    • That have clasps or staples.
    • That are pre-printed on the inside.

    size and flap shape of the envelopes you 
    are using.
     
    How to load envelopes and post cards2
    aBefore loading, press the corners and 
    sides of the envelopes or post cards to 
    make them as flat as possible.
    Note
    If the envelopes or post cards are ‘double-
    feeding’, put one envelope in the paper 
    tray at a time.
     
     
     
     
    bPut the envelopes or post cards into the 
    paper tray with the address side down 
    and the leading edge (top of the 
    envelopes) in first. Slide the paper side 
    guides (1) and paper length guide (2) to

    aOpen the envelope flap.
    bMake sure the open flap is either to the 
    side of the envelope or to the back edge 
    of the envelope when printing.
    cAdjust the size and margin in your 
    application.
