Flex a stack of envelopes back and forth, and then straighten the edges on a level surface. 
Press down the corners to flatten them.
Fan the envelopes. This prevents the edges of the envelopes from sticking together and helps 
them feed properly.
5Load the stack of envelopes flap side down with the stamp area and the flap on the left. The 
end of the envelopes with the stamp area enters the envelope feeder first.
Let the envelopes at the bottom of the stack slide into the envelope feeder slightly...

Linking trays
Tray linking enables the automatic linking feature for trays when you load the same size and type of 
print media in multiple sources. The MFP automatically links the trays; when one tray is empty, print 
media feeds from the next linked tray.
For example, if you have the same size and type of print media loaded in tray 2 and tray 4, the MFP 
selects print media from tray 2 until it becomes empty, and then the MFP automatically feeds print 
media from the next linked tray—tray 4.
