envelopes.

an envelope, follow the steps described in “Loading paper
manually” earlier in this chapter.

Before loading an envelope, set the paper-thickness lever to
position 1 and lower the flap on the printer’s rear.

printer first, as shown.

Printing on the edge of an envelope can damage the print head.
