Envelopes
• When printing on envelopes, use the bypass tray or the optional envelope
feeder.
• Even when the optional envelope feeder is not installed, you can specify
the sizes for the envelopes for tray 2 using the operation panel. However,
the envelopes cannot be loaded into tray 2 without the envelope feeder.
To use the envelope feeder, the installation of the optional paper unit is re-
quired.
