Load envelopes into the printer

How you load envelopes depends on what type of printer you have and where the paper input tray is located.

   • Inkjet printers with a front tray: Front of envelope facing down and the flap to the left

     

   • Inkjet printers with a rear tray: Front of envelope facing up and the flap to the left

     

   • LaserJet printers with a front tray: Front of envelope facing up and the flap to the left

     

2. Slide the paper width guides in until they rest against the edges of the envelopes.
