Loading the Envelope Feeder

Outside carrier envelopes need to be loaded on the envelope feeder correctly for the feeder to work right.

To load the envelope feeder:

1. Raise the envelope feeder paddle and slide it down toward the right side of the feeder (facing it).

2. Place envelopes in the feeder, flap side down, with the flap facing out to the right.

Envelopes Positioned in the Feeder

3. Verify the tops of the envelopes are squared up and no envelopes are sticking out from the stack or

stuck together.
