Printing an envelope
Only use envelopes that are recommended for laser printers. See
Printer media
specifications
for more information.
Note
You must load envelopes one at a time in the single-sheet priority input slot (Tray 1).
1. To prevent the envelope from curling as it prints, open the straight-through output door.
2. Before loading the envelope, open the single-sheet priority input slot (Tray 1), and adjust
the media guides to the width of the envelope.

3. Place the envelope with the side to be printed facing up and the top edge along the left
media guide. Feed the envelope into the slot. The envelope will partially feed into the
printer, and the printer will pause.
Note
If the envelope has a flap on the short edge, feed that edge into the printer first.
4. Access the printer Properties (or Printing Preferences in Windows 2000 and XP). See
Printer Properties (driver)
for instructions.
5. On the Paper/Quality tab or the Paper tab (the Paper Type/Quality tab for some Mac
drivers), select Envelope as the media type.
Note
Not all printer features are available in all drivers or operating systems. See the printer
Properties (driver) online Help for information about availability of features for that driver.
6. Print the document.
