In the Multi-Purpose Tray (e.g., Envelopes)

Return to Overview

If you are making prints on transparencies, labels, nonstandard-sized paper, or envelopes, load them into the multi-purpose tray.


Remark
  • Use standard envelopes with diagonal seams and flaps.
  • To prevent jams, do not use the following:
  • Envelopes with windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or double flaps
  • Envelopes made with special coated paper or deeply embossed paper
  • Envelopes with peel-off sealing strips
  • Envelopes with letters enclosed
  • Make sure to set the correct envelope size in the printer driver. (See online help.)

  1. Open the multi-purpose tray.
  1. Pull out the multi-purpose tray extension until it clicks, then open it.
  • Do not load the paper without using the multi-purpose tray extension.
  1. Stack the envelopes with the address side facing down, and set the envelopes as illustrated. Be sure to insert the envelopes as far as they will go.
When you load envelopes, arrange the stack of envelopes on a flat surface, then press down firmly on the edges.
If the envelopes open on a thin edge, make sure to place the side with the opening into the paper tray first.
Paper jams may result if loaded improperly.

  1. Adjust the slide guides to the width of the paper stack.
  • Make sure that the paper stack does not exceed the paper limit guide.
  • Some types of paper may not feed properly into the multi-purpose tray. For high quality copies, be sure to use the paper and transparencies recommended by Canon.
  • When making copies of a small document or thick paper, etc., the copy speed may be slightly slower than usual.
