About envelopes2
„ Use envelopes that weigh from 75 to 
95 g/m
2.
„ 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:
• That 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.
Occasionally you may experience paper 
feed problems caused by the thickness, 
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

paper tray with the address side down 
and the leading edge in first as shown in 
the illustration. Slide the paper side
