"Paper Requirements"
Step 1: Loading Envelopes
There are two paper sources.
Paper cassette
The following describes how to load envelopes in the paper cassette.
Remove the paper cassette.
Gently pull out the paper cassette with both hands.

CAUTION
Be sure to remove the paper cassette
If paper is loaded with the paper cassette only partially open, the paper cassette may fall out or the printer may fall over, resulting in personal injury.
Load the envelopes.
Align the envelopes with the rear of the paper cassette.

CAUTION
Precautions when loading envelopes
Be careful not to cut your hands with the edges of the envelopes.
NOTE
Aligning the envelopes
- Place the stack of envelopes on a flat surface and flatten them to release any remaining air.
- Be sure that the edges are pressed tightly.
- Loosen any stiff corners of the envelopes and flatten any curls.
- Align the edges of the envelopes on a flat surface.
Loading envelopes into the paper cassette
Load the envelopes as follows.
- When loading envelopes at sizes of DL, COM10, C5, Monarch, or B5, load them so that the side for writing the address (side without glue) is facing up.
- Load envelopes with the flap facing toward the left when viewed from the front of the printer.
Align the position of the paper guides with the size of the envelopes.
- Slide the side paper guides so that they are aligned with the width of the envelopes.
- While holding the lock release lever at the front, slide the paper guide so that it is aligned with the length of the envelopes.
Place the envelopes under the hooks (A).
Make sure that the paper stack does not exceed the marks on the load limit guides (B).
NOTE
Paper cassette capacity
You can load up to approximately 10 envelopes in the paper cassette.
Insert the paper cassette into the printer.
Push the paper cassette into the printer firmly until it is all the way in.

CAUTION
Precautions when inserting the paper cassette
When inserting the paper cassette, be careful not to catch your fingers.
Manual feed slot
Slide the paper guides of the manual feed slot to the outside.
Align the paper guides to a width slightly larger than the width of the envelopes.
Load one envelope.
Insert the paper into the manual feed slot until it catches. The paper is fed to the printer automatically. (The paper is not fed when the printer is printing or during sleep mode.)
Load only one sheet of paper in the manual feed slot at a time.
NOTE
Loading an envelope into the manual feed slotWhen loading an envelope at a size of DL, COM10, C5, Monarch, or B5, load it so that the side for writing the address (side without glue) is facing up and the flap is toward the left of the printer when viewed from the front.
If the envelope is curled
Bend it in the opposite direction to flatten it before loading.
Align the position of the paper guides with the width of the envelope.
IMPORTANT
Be sure to align the paper guides with the width of the envelope.
If the paper guides are not aligned properly with the envelope, this may result in paper jams.
NOTE
When an envelope is loaded in the manual feed slotYou do not need to register the paper size.
Select the appropriate paper size in the application, and then print the envelope.
