jWhen you have finished printing, open the back cover and reset the two gray levers their original 
position.
Note
• Remove each envelope as soon as it has been printed. Stacking the envelopes may cause them to jam 
or curl.
• If envelopes or thick paper gets smudged during printing set the Media Type to Env. Thick or Thicker 
Paper to increase the fixing temperature. 
• If the envelopes are creased after they are printed, see Improving the print quality on page 160.
• If your thick paper curls during printing, put only one sheet at a time in the MP tray and open the back cover 
(back output tray) to let the printed pages exit to the back output tray.
• (For Windows
® users) If DL size double flap envelopes are creased after printing, choose DL Long Edge 
in Paper Size, from the Basic tab. Put a new DL size double-flap envelope in the MP tray with the longest 
edge of the envelope in first, then print again.
• Envelope joints that are sealed by the manufacturer should be secure.
• All sides of the envelope should be properly folded without wrinkles or creases.

Duplex printing1
The supplied printer drivers for Windows® 2000 or greater and Mac OS X 10.4.11 or greater all enable duplex 
printing. For more information about how to choose the settings, see the Help text in the printer driver.
Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper1
If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.
If paper is curled, straighten it and put it back in the paper tray. If the paper continues to curl, replace the 
paper.
If the paper is not feeding properly, it may be curled. Remove the paper and straighten it. If the paper 
continues to curl, replace the paper.
When you use the manual duplex function, it is possible that there may be paper jams or poor print quality. 
(If there is a paper jam, see Paper jams and how to clear them on page 146. If you have a print quality 
problem, see Improving the print quality on page 160.)
Note
Make sure that the paper tray is completely inserted in the machine.
