## Multipart forms

You can load single-sheet multipart forms one at a time in the top or front paper slot as described in Loading Single Sheets in the Top Paper Slot or Loading Single Sheets in the Front Paper Slot later in this chapter. Also, follow these guidelines:
Use only carbonless multipart forms bound as shown below.

bound only at the top by line glueing | bound only at the side by line glueing

You can use the top or front paper slot to load single-sheet multipart forms that are bound at the top.
Insert this type of form in the top slot with the bound edge first and the printable side down, as shown below.
Insert this type of form in the front slot with the bound edge first and the printable side up, as shown below.
You can load multipart forms bound at the side only in the front slot. Insert this type of form in the front slot with the top edge first and the printable side up, as shown below.
Before printing, set the paper-thickness lever (located under the printer cover) to the proper position for your paper. See Adjusting the Paper Thickness Lever.
Be sure your multipart forms do not exceed 0.46 mm (0.018 inch) in thickness.
Use multipart forms only under normal temperature and humidity conditions, as follows:
Temperature 15 to 25˚C (59 to 77˚F)
Humidity 30 to 60% RH

## Envelopes

You can load envelopes only in the top paper slot as described in Loading Single Sheets in the Top Paper Slot. Also, follow these guidelines:
Load envelopes one at a time in the top slot, with the flap edge first and the flap side up.
Set the paper-thickness lever (located under the printer cover) to position 2 to 6 to match the thickness of the envelope.
Before printing, turn on the card mode by pressing the Tear Off/Card button until both Tear Off/Card lights are on. After you finish printing on envelopes, press the Tear Off/Card button once to exit the card mode. (Bin 1 is selected.)
Do not use envelopes that are curled or folded. Also avoid using envelopes that are too thin; they may curl during printing and become jammed.
If you use No. 6 envelopes, align the left edge of the envelope with the arrow mark on the printer.
Use envelopes only under normal temperature and humidity conditions, as follows:
Temperature 15 to 25˚C (59 to 77˚F)
Humidity 30 to 60% RH
Caution:

Because printing on the edge of an envelope may damage the print head, make sure the printing stays entirely within the recommended printable area of your envelopes. See Recommended printable area for details on the recommended printable area of envelopes.
