Envelope
Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the
envelopes.
To print an envelope, the stamp area is on the left side and the end of the
envelope with the stamp area enters the printer first and center of the
manual tray.
If envelopes are printed out with wrinkles, crease or black bold lines, open
the rear cover and pull down the pressure lever and try printing again. Keep
the rear cover opened during printing.
