Always load envelopes manually through the rear slot.

slot.
Always feed envelopes by inserting the wide edge into the

. Use envelopes under normal operating conditions only.
. Printing on the edge of an envelope can damage the print head.
Make sure your software program keeps the printing entirely
within the printable area of the envelope.

Multi-part forms

You can use carbonless continuous multi-part forms of up to three
parts (one original plus two copies).
Load multi-part forms with the push tractor only. You load
l
multi-part continuous paper the same way as ordinary
continuous paper.
Use only multi-part forms joined with spot-gluing that is free of
l
wrinkles and waves. Never print on multi-part forms joined
with metal staples, tape, or continuous gluing.
If you need to adjust the top-of-form position, use your software
l
or change the default top-of-form position. You may have to
experiment to get the setting you want.
