This section describes how to print onto custom size paper or envelopes.
Loading Envelopes
Envelopes can be loaded into Paper Drawer 1 and the multi-purpose tray. Make sure to flatten any curls on envelopes before loading them. Also pay attention to the orientation of envelopes and which side is face up.
Caution
Do not load the following type of envelopes.
- Curled, creased, or folded envelopes
- Very thick or thin envelopes
- Damp or wet envelopes
- Torn envelopes
- Irregularly shaped envelopes
- Envelopes with clasps or windows
- Envelopes that have already been sealed
- Envelopes with holes or perforations
- Envelopes with specially coated surfaces
- Envelopes made of surface treated colored paper
- Envelopes that are self-sticking, which use ink, glue, or other substances that can melt, burn, vaporize, or emit smells under the heat of a fixing unit (approximately 200°C). Depending on the materials used for the seal, the glue may melt under the fixing unit's heat, sealing the envelopes.
Before Loading Envelopes
Follow the procedure below to prepare the envelopes before loading.
1. Close the flap of each envelope.
2. Flatten them to release any remaining air, and make sure that the edges are pressed tightly.
3. Loosen any stiff corners of the envelopes and flatten any curls.
4. Align the edges of the envelope on a flat surface.
