### Loading Envelopes

You can print on European DL and US Comm. Env. #10-sized envelope.

The address is automatically rotated and printed according to the envelope's direction by specifying with the printer driver properly.

Important You cannot use the following envelopes. - Envelopes with an embossed or treated surface - Envelopes with a double flap (or sticker flaps) - Envelopes with pressure seals

1. Prepare envelopes.

Press down on all four corners and edges of the envelopes to flatten them.

If the envelopes are curled, hold the opposite corners and gently twist them in the opposite direction.

If the corner of the envelope flap is folded, flatten it.

Use a pen to press the leading edge in the inserting direction flat and sharpen the crease.

The figures above show a side view of the leading edge of the envelope.
