Loading Envelopes in Tray 5 (Bypass)
It is recommended that you print envelopes from the Bypass (Tray 5). If you are required to print envelopes from
the optional Trays 6 and 7, use the Postcard Bracket.
Note: For information on supported envelope types and sizes, refer to the Customer Expectation and
Installation Guide.
When setting up your print job, select from the following options:
• Envelope Feeder: used for standard-sized envelopes
• Change Settings: used for custom-sized envelopes
Note: Store unused envelopes in their original packaging to avoid the excess moisture or dryness that can
affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the envelopes to seal before or during
printing.
Some wrinkling or embossing can occur when printing on envelopes. Successful envelope printing depends on the
quality and construction of the envelopes. Try another envelope brand if problems occur.
When defining custom paper settings at the Paper Tray settings/Tray Properties window, assign the custom stock to
the Bypass Tray (Tray 5) or an Advanced Oversized High Capacity Feeder (Tray 6 or 7). Select Auto Detect for
automatic size-detection or measure the height and width of the envelope with the flap closed, then enter the
dimensions. For more detailed information, refer to the following steps.
1. Always load envelopes with the flaps closed.
Do not use padded envelopes.
2. When loading in the SEF direction, place the flaps facing the back of the press. When loading in the LEF
direction, place the flaps facing the lead edge.
3. When submitting your network print file, select Custom Paper as the Paper Type. Enter the dimensions of the
envelope.
Measure the width from the lead edge to the trail edge of the envelope. For example, if you load SEF, enter the
long dimension of the envelope as the width. If you load the envelope LEF, enter the short dimension of the
envelope as the width.
4. Enter a heavy paper weight value, such as 220 g/m
2
in the Paper Weight field.
A paper weight of 220 is a good starting point. If the printing is blurred or smeared, enter a higher value.
5. Select the Bypass Tray (Tray 5) as the Paper Source.
