Using the Printer
Envelopes
You can feed envelopes individually using the paper guide. Keep
the following tips in mind:
❏
Before loading an envelope, set the paper thickness lever to
the proper position. See “Adjusting the paper-thickness
lever” on page 2-28.
❏
To load an envelope, follow the steps in “Running the Self
Test” on page 1-13. Insert the wide edge of the envelope into
the printer first, printable-side down. When you insert the
envelope between the paper guides, push it firmly and hold
it until it feeds into the printer.
❏
Use envelopes only under normal temperature and humidity
conditions.
❏
Make sure the printing stays entirely within the printable
area.
❏
The print head must not go past the left or right edge of the
envelope or other thick paper. (See “Printer Specifications” on
page A-4 for specifications.) It’s a good idea to print a test
sample using a normal single sheet of paper before you print
on envelopes.
Cards
You can feed cards individually using the paper guide. Keep the
following tips in mind:
❏
Use cards only under normal temperature and humidity
conditions.
❏
Set the left edge along the sheet guide.
❏
Set the long side of a card horizontally.
