Before you print envelopes, you must fan the stack to avoid paper jams and misfeeds.

Do not put different types of paper in the paper tray at the same time because it may cause paper 

jams or misfeeds.

■

Do not print envelopes using duplex printing.

■

For proper printing, you must choose the same paper size from your software application as the 
paper in the tray.
