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 mes-
sages associated 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 “Troubleshooting” on page 5-1 for a complete list of all warning and error
messages.
Correcting Miscellaneous Envelope Feeder Problems
Some envelope feeder problems may not cause an error message and may not interfere with the
operation of the printer. If you are experiencing one of the problems listed below and there is no
error message shown on the control panel display, refer to the procedures in the following sec-
tions to check the possible causes of the specific problem.
■ Inoperative envelope feeder
■ Erratic operation

not. You must enable (activate) the option in the printer driver after the option is installed.

driver. Here are the general steps you will follow.
Select the driver you want to work with.
