How should I load envelopes?

• You can print documents and photos on a variety of paper types and sizes using the rear paper feed slot.
  1. Open the rear paper feed slot cover.
     
     
  2. Slide the edge guides outward.
     
     
  3. Do one of the following:
     • Insert one sheet of paper, glossy or printable side up and short edge first, centered at the arrow mark.
       
       
     • Load one envelope centered at the arrow mark. Load it printable side up and flap edge left.
       
       
     • Load a photo sticker centered at the arrow mark with the printable side up.

       Note: Do not load any carrier sheets into this product.

       
       
       
     • Load one sheet of loose-leaf or other paper with holes facing as shown.
       
       
     • Load one sheet of business card-sized paper glossy or printable side up and short edge first, centered at the arrow mark.
       
       

       Note: Make sure you load business card-sized paper vertically in the rear paper feed slot. You may not be able to remove it if it is loaded horizontally.

  4. Slide the edge guides against the paper, but not too tightly.
     
     
  5. If prompted by the product's LCD screen, select the size and type of the paper you loaded.
  The output tray extends automatically when you print.

  Always follow these paper loading guidelines:

  • Load only the recommended number of sheets.
  • Load paper short edge first, no matter which way your document faces.
  • Load letterhead or pre-printed paper top edge first.
  • Do not load envelopes that are curled, folded, or too thin, or that have plastic windows.
  • Check the paper package for any additional loading instructions.
