Envelopes - Epson FX-870 User Manual

Printing on Special Paper

Envelopes

You can load envelopes individually using the single-sheet loading
feature from the top paper guide. If you want to load several
envelopes at the same time, you can install the optional high-
capacity cut-sheet feeder. See Chapter 4 for a description of loading
envelopes with the cut-sheet feeder.
Before loading an envelope, set the paper-thickness lever to position
2 to 5, depending on the thickness of the envelope. To load an
envelope, follow the steps described in Loading single sheets from
the top earlier in this chapter.
Note:
Insert the envelope between the edge guides until it meets
l
resistance.
The print head must not print past the left or right edge of the
l
envelope or other thick paper. Make sure your application
program prints entirely within the printable area of the
envelope you are using.
Insert the top edge of the envelope into the printer.
l
If you use No. 6 envelopes, make sure the left edge guide is
l
aligned with the arrow on the paper guide.
