Printing on Envelopes

Single sheet feeding allows you to print on #10, #6¾, #7¾,

and DL

size envelopes with a paper weight of 12 to 20 lb.

Follow these steps:

1. Be sure the tractor is in the push position. {If not, follow

the installation instructions earlier in this chapter.}

If you already have continuous paper loaded, simply press the

PARK/LOAD key to back the paper out of the way. See "Paper

Parking" in this chapter for more information

2. Change the paper select lever {shown in Figure 3-2} to the rear

{single sheet} position.

3. Set the paper thickness lever to +2, +3, +4, +5 or +6, depending

on the thickness of the envelope. Setting the paper thickness

lever is critical to print quality when printing on envelopes.

Experiment with several paper thickness settings and choose the

one that best suits your particular envelope.

4. Install the paper guide in the upright position used for inserting

paper. {See Figure 3-2 earlier in this chapter.}

5. Set the left paper holder {see Figure 3-10}. Insert the envelope

just enough to adjust the right paper holder to the envelope

width; then, remove the envelope momentarily.

6. Open the flap of an envelope before inserting it.

7. Insert the envelope head in, face down, flap open between the

paper holders {as you would load paper in a typewriter}. See

Figure 3-10. Push the envelope down gently to be sure it is all

the way in.
