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" (5 mm). .. 4 Insert the stack of envelopes into the multipurpose tray q, and adjust the slide guides to fit the size of the envelope w. • Position the envelopes with the print side up (flaps should not be visible) and load the envelope so that the right edge (stamp side) feeds first in the multi-purpose tray. • If the envelope to be loaded has a flap on the short edge, this edge must enter the machine first. Not loading it this way will result in paper jams. • Make sure the stack does not exceed the paper limit guide. 1 2 • The machine is now ready to print. • The orientation of a document and the NOTE loading position of the envelope are reversed. • To select the type of envelope to be loaded in the multi-purpose tray, follow the procedure below: – Press Additional Functions, then select COMMON SETTINGS> MP TRAY PAPERSIZE > OFF > SET ON LOADING. – Load the envelope into the multi-purpose tray, and select ENVELOPE, then press Set.
