     flaps

Loading an Envelope

IMPORTANT:  Before you can print on an envelope, you must select the
envelope as your paper size. Refer to the printing documentation of your
word processing software for instructions.

1.   Remove the paper from paper input tray.

2.   Lift the envelope positioning tab that is inset in the right side of
     the paper input tray.

3.   Load envelopes to the right (viewed from front) against the envelope
     positioning tab. The side you will be printing on should be facing
     you.

4.   Squeeze and slide the paper guide so that it touches envelopes.

5.   Set up the application to print on the size of envelope loaded. You
     can set up the print size from the Properties button of the Print
     dialog box.

6.   Print the envelope(s).   

When printing is complete:

1.   Put the envelope tab back into its storage position.

2.   Replace the printer paper in paper input tray.

3.   Squeeze and slide the paper guide so that it touches the paper.
