    Warning—Potential Damage: Never use envelopes with stamps, clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, or self-stick adhesives. These envelopes may severely damage the printer.
  6. Make sure the media is as far into the multipurpose feeder as it will go with very gentle pushing. Media should lie flat and fit loosely in the multipurpose feeder.

    Note: If the media is pushed too far into the multipurpose feeder, you must press the paper release lever to remove it.
  7. From the printer control panel, set the Paper Size and Paper Type, and then press the select button.

    The multipurpose feeder can be closed when not in use.
