DL size double-flap envelopes

If the DL size double flap envelope is creased after printing, go to the Basic tab, select Paper 
Size
 and then select DL Long Edge. Put a new DL size double-flap envelope in the MP tray with 
the longest edge of the envelope in first, then print again.

When you put envelopes in the MP tray, please remember the following;

During printing, the inside tray rises to feed envelopes into the printer.

The side to be printed on must be face up.

Put the right side edge of the envelope in first and push it gently into the tray.

The top of the envelope stack must be under the maximum paper height guides that are on both 
sides of the tray. 

If envelopes get smudged during printing, in the printer driver select MP Tray as the Paper 
Source
 for a straight paper path. Then, set the Media Type to Thick Paper or Thicker Paper 
to increase the fixing temperature. To adjust the print density setting, see Density adjustment on 
page 2-8.

Envelope joints that are sealed by the manufacturer should be secure.

All sides should be properly folded without any wrinkles or creases.
