Loading Envelopes in the Bypass Tray
All envelopes must be fed through the Bypass Tray. Open the flap and insert
the envelope, one at a time, into the Bypass Tray as shown below.
Follow these guidelines when printing onto envelopes to help minimize
potential jams and other problems:
• Do not use envelopes that have tape seals. If you are using
an envelope with a glue seal, make sure it is dry before use.
• Only use landscape (horizontal) type envelopes (more than
3.5 inches wide, and more than 5.6 inches long with the flap
open). Portrait (vertical) type envelopes may not be used.
• Insert envelopes with the flap facing out and the glue side
down.
• Poor quality envelopes may crease, and may not print
properly.
