Solving Envelope Feeder Problems
Interpreting Envelope Feeder Error Messages
The printer control panel displays error messages when there is a problem with the printer or any of
the optional paper-handling components. The following table lists all of the error messages associ-
ated with the envelope feeder, the possible cause of the error, and the action to take to correct the
problem. If the control panel shows an error message that concerns another part of the printer, refer
to Chapter 5: Troubleshooting for a complete list of all warning and error messages.

The following procedure guides you through multiple actions that may solve this feeder problem.
Proceed one step at a time until the problem is solved—you may not need to complete the entire
procedure. If one of the steps in this procedure corrects the problem but the identical problem
returnsinlessthan50prints,callforservice.
1. Open and then firmly close all of the printer and feeder doors and covers.
Interlock switches monitor the position of printer doors and covers. When a door is closed,
the interlock switch is activated and the envelope feeder can operate. When a door is open,
the interlock switch is not activated and the envelope feeder cannot operate. If a door is not
firmly closed, the interlock switch may not be fully activated—resulting in an inoperative
envelope feeder.
2. Test the printer by printing a few sheets from the main tray.
