I I I I Setting envelopes or postcards
When setting envelopes or postcards in the bypass tray, set them in the orientation shown below.
Loading postcards
Insert the postcard with the side to be printed on
facing up. The postcard should be oriented as
shown in the diagram.
Printing onto envelopes or postcards
GAttempting to print onto both sides of envelopes or postcards may result in misfeeds or poor prints.
GDo not use pre-printed envelopes.
GBefore inserting a postcard or envelope, straighten any curled edges. Curled edges may cause creases, color
deviations, misfeeds, and poor quality images.

Printing onto envelopes

GAttempting to print on envelopes that have metal clasps, plastic snaps, string closures, windows, linings, self-
adhesive patches or synthetic materials may cause misfeeds, inadequate toner adherence or other trouble.
GEnvelopes with embossed surfaces may cause the prints to become smudged.
GUnder high humidity and temperature conditions the glue flaps on some envelopes may become sticky and be
sealed closed when printed.
GUse only envelopes which are flat and crisply folded. Curled or poorly formed envelopes may be poorly printed
or may cause misfeeds.
GPrint quality is not guaranteed in the area 13/32" or 10 mm from the
edges of the envelope.
GPrint quality is not guaranteed on parts of envelopes where there is a
large step-like change of thickness, such as on three-layer or four-layer
envelopes.
GPrint quality is not guaranteed on envelopes having peel off flaps for
sealing the envelopes.
Fusing unit pressure adjusting levers
In some cases damage to the envelopes, color deviations, or smudging may occur even if envelopes within the
specifications are used. This problem may be reduced by shifting the fusing unit pressure adjusting levers from
their normal pressure position to the lower pressure position. Follow the procedure on the next page. (2-7)
NOTE
Be sure to return the lever to the normal position when you have finished feeding envelopes. If not, inadequate
toner adherence, paper misfeeds or other trouble may occur.
