3Loading Envelopes
Follow this procedure to load up to 7 envelopes in the multi-purpose tray:
1Prepare the envelopes.
❚Arrange the stack of envelopes on a 
firm, clean surface, and press down
firmly on the edges to make the folds
crisp.
•Press all the way around the envelopes
to remove any curls and expel air from
inside the envelopes. Also, press firmly
on the area that corresponds to the
edges of the back flap.
❚Remove any curling from the 
envelopes by holding the edges
diagonally and bending them gently.
❚Run a pen or other rounded object 
along the back flaps to flatten them.
•The flaps should not bulge more than 
0.2 in. (5 mm).
2Remove the multi-purpose tray cover
from the machine.

•To prevent the transparency from curling, remove it as soon as it exits the machine and
place it on a flat surface to cool.
3Loading Transparencies

Selecting Face-Up or Face-Down Delivery
■Paper Path
Understanding how paper feeds through the machine will help you determine which
paper delivery slot is appropriate for the print media and task you are performing.
First, the paper travels to the cartridge where a laser beam “draws” the print image on
the drum, which in turn applies toner to the paper. The paper travels to the fixing
assembly where the toner is “fixed” (fused) to the paper. It then exits the machine
through the face-up delivery slot (front of the machine) or the face-down delivery slot
(top of the machine).
■Before Setting the Paper Delivery Selector
Before selecting paper delivery, be sure to take note of the following:
•Always set the paper delivery selector before printing.
•Changing paper delivery while the machine is printing will cause problems. Wait for
the printout to exit the machine completely before changing paper delivery.
•The face-down delivery slot can hold up to approximately 50 sheets of paper. To
prevent paper jams, remove paper from this slot before 50 sheets print out.
•Make sure there is enough room for the paper to exit from the face-up delivery slot.
Remove each sheet as it is delivered from this slot.
•Never pull the paper as it comes out of the machine.

–printing on paper.
–you want the printed pages to stack in the correct page order.
–you are printing a small number of pages.
–you only receive a small number of faxes, and of few pages.
–you will be faxing a document you have printed from your machine.
•Select face-up delivery when:
–printing on envelopes.
–printing on transparencies.
–you are expecting to print or receive a large number of pages, or plan to be away and
want to receive faxes during your absence. If this is the case, place your machine
near the edge of a table so that the pages can fall away from your machine without
blocking the face-up delivery slot. Place a container below your machine to collect the
pages.
■Setting the Paper Delivery Selector
Select face-up or face-down delivery with the paper delivery selector.
c
When using face-up delivery, you must remove each sheet as it is delivered.
Failure to do this may cause jams in the face-up delivery slot and result in damage
to your machine.
