Load Envelopes in the Bypass Tray

Open the Bypass Tray.

Pull out the extension tray for larger sizes.

Move the width guides to the edges of the tray.



IMPORTANT:

• Downward curl at the leading edge of envelopes is not acceptable and can cause a jam or misfeed. To prevent jams, ensure that the leading edge of the envelopes are flat or have only a slight upward curl, less than 5 mm (.19 in.), before loading into the tray. The length of the curl must be within 8-10 mm (.31-.39 in.).
  
  
  
  

• Load envelopes up to 16.5 mm (.65 in.) in height. This is approximately 10-20 envelopes, depending on brand, size, and texture.

• If you do not load envelopes in the Bypass Tray right after you have removed the envelopes from the packaging, the envelopes can bulge. To avoid jams, flatten the envelopes before loading them into the tray.
  
  

To load the envelopes, select an option:

• For Number 10 envelopes, load the envelopes with the short edge going into the printer, flaps down, and flaps to the right.
  
  
  
  

• For Monarch or DL envelopes, perform one of the following options. If the envelopes wrinkle, try another option.
  
  

  • Option 1: Load envelopes with the short edge going into the printer, flaps down, and flaps to the right.
    
    
    
    

  • Option 2: Load envelopes with the print-side up, flaps open and down, and the bottom of the envelope going into the printer.
    
    
    
    

  • Option 3: Load envelopes with the print-side up, flaps closed and down, and flaps going into the printer.
    
    
    
    

• For C5 envelopes, perform one of the following options. If the envelopes wrinkle, try the other option.
  
  

  • Option 1: Load envelopes with the print-side up, flaps open and down, and the bottom of the envelope going into the printer.
    
    
    
    

  • Option 2: Load envelopes with the print-side up, flaps closed and down, and short edge going into the printer.
    
    
    
    NOTE: For envelopes to print correctly, load envelopes with the flaps open. In the print driver, select Portrait, Landscape, or Rotated Landscape, as needed. To flip the images, select Rotate Image 180 Degrees.
