Loading Envelopes in the Bypass Tray
To load envelopes that are under 220 mm (8.66 inches) in width in the bypass tray, insert
the envelopes with the flaps open and at the rear. To load envelopes that are over 220 mm
(8.66 inches) in width in the bypass tray, insert the envelopes with the flaps closed and at
the right side. The print side must be facing down. You can load envelopes up to the
maximum fill line in the tray at one time.
Important
• For best performance, do not use envelopes that:
• Have excessive curl or twist
• Are stuck together or damaged in any way
• Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, embossing
• Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars
• Have an interlocking design
• Have postage stamps attached
• Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position
• Have nicked edges or bent corners
• Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes
Note
• Make sure set the envelope flaps are completely unfolded when loading envelopes that are under 220
mm in width.

Setting Paper Types
Setting Paper Trays
When loading paper in the 550 sheet feeder (optional), it is necessary to set the paper size
and type on the control panel.
When loading paper in the bypass tray, set the paper size and type on the printer driver
when printing. When [Bypass Mode] has been set [Panel Specified] ([Driver Specified] by
default) on the control panel, you can set the paper size and type on the control panel.
This section describes how to set the paper size and type on the control panel.
Note
• When you set [Bypass Mode] to [Panel Specified], printing will be performed only when the settings for
the paper size and type configured on the printer driver when printing match the settings on the control
panel.
• You can also display the message to set the paper size and type on the control panel every time you
load paper into each tray. Refer to the “4.2 Description of Menu Items” (P. 55) for details.
