Tip:
Load only the recommended number of sheets.
Load paper short edge first, no matter which way your document or photo faces.
Load letterhead or pre-printed paper top edge first.
Do not load paper above the arrow marks on the edge guide.
Check the paper package for any additional loading instructions.
Leave enough space in front of the printer for the paper to be fully ejected.

and behind the tabs on the edge guides.
Tip:
Press each envelope flat before loading it or load one envelope at a time.
5. Slide the edge guide against the envelopes, but not too tightly.
Tip:
Do not use envelopes that are curled or folded, and avoid using envelopes that are too thin
because they may curl during printing. Before printing from your computer, select Envelope as
the paper type, Envelope #10 as the paper size, and Landscape as the orientation. If you are
printing on envelopes of a different size, create a custom size in Windows or Mac OS X.
