exposing printed sheets to direct sunlight.

Printing on envelopes
European DL or US. Commercial No. 10 envelopes can be loaded in the
sheet feeder for automatic feed. Envelopes are loaded with the flap sides
down and the print side (address side up); printing cannot be done on the
flap side of an envelope. Envelopes cannot be loaded manually or in the
paper cassette.
■ You can stack up to 15 European DL or U.S. No. 10 envelopes in the sheet
feeder for automatic feeding.
■ The envelopes should not be bent or excessively curled.
■ Never attempt to load envelopes with plastic fasteners, string, or trans-
parent windows.
■ Use only standard European DL or U.S. Commercial No. 10 envelopes.
Avoid using envelopes with thick embossing, of extraordinary thickness,
or with other non-standard features.
