- Envelope DL/COM10/C5/Monarch
Load the envelopes so that the flap is toward the left of the printer when viewed from the front.
Close the flaps and load the envelopes so that they are printed from the top (the edge with the flap).
f. Up to approximately 10 envelopes can be loaded in the multi-purpose tray. Make sure that the paper stack does not exceed the load limit guides.
g. You cannot print on the reverse side (glued side) of envelopes.
h. Be sure to align the paper guides with the width of the paper. If the paper guides are too loose or too tight, this may result in misfeeds or paper jams.
i. Match the paper size specified in the SETUP menu of the printer and that specified in the printer driver. If they do not match, the message <PC LOAD "size"> appears. In this case, the setting for TRAY PAPER SIZE is changed to that in the printer driver by pressing the
(Online) key, allowing you to continue printing.
j. When you change the paper loaded in the multi-purpose tray frequently, it is convenient if TRAY PAPER SIZE in the control panel is set to MIXED SIZES. If TRAY PAPER SIZE is set to MIXED SIZES, you do not need to specify the setting for TRAY PAPER SIZE each time you load different size paper. However, when specifying MIXED SIZES, make sure that the size of the paper loaded in the multi-purpose tray matches the paper size specified in the printer driver before printing. If they do not match, the printer may stop printing, displaying the message <41 CHK PAPER SZE>, or a paper jam may occur. Be sure to check if the paper size specified in the printer driver matches the size of the paper loaded in the multi-purpose tray before using the printer. However, if SPECIAL MODE J is set to ON, the printer prints without checking the paper size even when the paper size specified in the printer driver and the size of the paper loaded in the multi-purpose tray do not match.
k. Match the paper type specified in the SETUP menu of the printer and that specified in the printer driver. If they do not match, the message <PC LOAD "size"> appears. In this case, the setting for TRAY PAPER TYPE is changed to that in the printer driver by pressing the
(Online) key, allowing you to continue printing.
l. If the type of the paper practically loaded in the multi-purpose tray and the setting for TRAY PAPER TYPE do not match, this may result in crucial damage to the engine. Be sure to match the paper type.
m. If TRAY PAPER TYPE is set to MIXED TYPES, the printer does not check the type of the loaded paper against the paper type specified in the printer driver. Be sure to check if the paper type specified in the printer driver matches the type of the paper loaded in the multi-purpose tray before using the printer.
