5Put envelopes in the MP tray so that they touch the back of the tray and remain under the maximum 
paper height guides on both sides of the tray. Put the side to be printed on first, face up, with the 
leading edge (top) of the envelope in first. Do not put more than 3 envelopes in the MP tray at any 
one time, or it may cause a jam.
Figure 1-32
Envelopes that have been creased after they have been printed
At the back of the printer, open the back output tray and push down the two blue tabs one on the 
left and one on the right hand side (as shown in Figure 1-31). When you have finished printing your 
envelopes, close the back output tray to reset the two blue tabs back to their original position.
Figure 1-31
Make sure that the envelopes are neatly stacked and in the proper position in the MP tray. If they 
are not, the envelopes may not be fed properly, resulting in a skewed printout or a jam.

■During printing, the inside tray rises to feed envelopes into the printer.
■The side to be printed on must be face up.
■Put the leading edge (top of the paper) in first and push it gently into the tray.
■The top of the envelope stack must be under the maximum paper height guides that are on both 
sides of the tray.

■If envelopes get smudged during printing, in the printer driver select MP Tray as the Paper 
Source for a straight paper path. Then, set the Media Type to Thick Paper or Thicker Paper 
to increase the fixing temperature. To adjust the print density setting, See QUALITY on page 
3-15.
■Envelope joints that are sealed by the manufacturer should be secure.
■All sides should be properly folded without any wrinkles or creases.
