Printing Envelopes
Printing Envelopes from Your Software Application
1 Load envelopes into Tray 1 or the optional envelope feeder, if installed.
2 Specify Tray 1, Automatic, or select the paper source by type in your
software application, and set the envelope size and type to the appropriate
envelope size (page 406
).
3 If your software does not automatically format an envelope, specify
Landscape for page orientation in your application.
CAUTION To avoid a printer jam, do not remove or insert an envelope once you
begin printing.
For best print quality, use the table on page 408
to set margins for a return and
mailing address. It gives you typical address margins for a Commercial #10 or
DL envelope. Avoid printing over the area where an envelope’s three back
flaps meet.
Note If you print on an envelope and send it to a mailbox, the envelope will go
to the mailbox Face-up Bin.
