Make sure that from the manual feed tray. manual feed mode or MP mode is selected in the printer driver. How can I load envelopes? You can load envelopes from the manual feed or MP tray. Your application software must be set up to print the envelope size you are using. This is usually done in the Page Setup or Document Setup menu of your software. Refer to your software application manual. What paper can I use? You can use plain paper, envelopes, transparencies and labels that are made for laser machines. (For information on paper you can use, see Printer operation keys in Software User's Guide on the CD-ROM.) How can I clear paper jams? See Paper jams on page 12-6.
