Notes

• Avoid using self-adhesive envelopes. They may cause machine malfunctions.
• The number of envelopes that can be printed in one minute is approximately half that of middle thick paper.
• Paper can be loaded only up to the lower of the two paper limit marks of the tray.
• If printed envelopes come out badly creased, load the envelopes in the opposite direction. Also, configure the printer driver to rotate the print object 180 degrees. For details about changing the loading orientation, see the printer driver Help.
• Environmental factors can degrade the print quality on both recommended and non-recommended envelopes.
• If envelopes are severely curled after printing, flatten them by bending them back against the curl.

• After printing, envelopes sometimes have creases along their long edges and toner smear on their unprinted sides. Their print images might also be blurred. When printing large, black-solid areas, striping can occur as a result of the envelopes overlapping.

• To correctly specify the length of an envelope whose flap opens along its short edge, be sure to include the open flap when measuring.

• Fan envelopes, and then align their edges before loading.

• When fanning envelopes, make sure they are not stuck together. If they are stuck together, separate them.
• When fanning envelopes, make sure the envelope flaps are not stuck together. If they are stuck together, separate them.
• Before loading envelopes, flatten them out so that their curl does not exceed that shown in the illustration below.

9. Removing Misfed Paper

This chapter explains how to remove misfed paper.

When Paper is Jammed

If a paper jam occurs, the Alert indicator on the control panel flashes and one of the following messages appears on the control panel:

"Internal Misfeed"

"Misfeed: PprTray"

"Misfeed: Tray 1"

"Misfeed: Tray 2"

"Misfd: Dupl Unit"

"Misfd: Stnd Tray"

Open the front cover, and check the following locations for the paper jam.

CAUTION

• The inside of this printer becomes very hot. Do not touch parts labelled "△" (indicating a hot surface).

CAUTION

• Some of this machine's internal components get very hot. For this reason, take care when removing misfed paper. Not doing so could result in burns.

Important

• Misfed paper may be covered in toner. Be careful not to get toner on your hands or clothes.
• Toner on prints made after removing misfed paper may be loose (inadequately fused). Make a few test prints until smudges no longer appear.
• Do not forcefully remove misfed paper, it will tear. Torn pieces remaining inside the printer will cause further misfeeds and possibly damage the printer.
• Paper jams can cause pages to be lost. Check your print job for missing pages and reprint any pages that did not print out.
