How to Use the Envelope Feeder Attachment-D1

The following types of envelopes can be loaded into the Envelope Feeder Attachment-D1: No. 10(COM10), Monarch, DL, and ISO-C5.

The setting of the machine and guide size is set to No. 10(COM10) as the default setting.

IMPORTANT
When you attach the Envelope Feeder Attachment-D1 to the paper drawer, do not forcefully move the front guide of the paper drawer in the wrong direction. Doing so may detach the Envelope Feeder Attachment-D1 from the paper drawer. Do not print on both sides of an envelope. Doing so may cause paper jams, dirty prints, or make the inside of the machine dirty. Do not load the following types of envelopes inside the envelope cassette. Doing so may cause paper jams, dirty prints, or make the inside of the machine dirty. Curled, creased, or folded envelopes Very thick or thin envelopes Damp or wet envelopes Torn envelopes Irregularly shaped envelopes Envelopes with clasps or windows Envelopes that have already been sealed Envelopes with holes or perforations Envelopes with specially coated surfaces Envelopes made of surface treated colored paper Envelopes that are self-sticking, which use ink, glue, or other substances that can melt, burn, vaporize, or emit smells under the heat of a fixing unit (approximately 418°F). Depending on the materials used for the seal, the glue may melt under the fixing unit's heat, sealing the envelopes. When the envelope cassette is attached and envelope is selected for the paper type, the envelope is ejected to the tray under the scanner unit. If you are printing on envelopes, empty the output tray when up to 10 printed envelopes accumulate in the tray. Envelopes should be stored in a place away from high-temperatures and humidity. If there is a temperature difference between the location where the envelopes are stored and the location where the envelopes are being printed, leave the envelopes in the printing location at room temperature before you use them. Correctly match the paper size dial, size switch, and [Register Envelope Drawer] in [Preferences] (Settings/Registration) with the size of the envelopes being loaded. Failure to do so may cause paper jams, dirty prints, or make the inside of the machine dirty. If you want to adjust the width guides to load ISO-C5 envelopes, contact your local authorized Canon dealer.

Preparing the Envelopes

This section explains how to prepare the envelopes before loading them into the paper drawer.

IMPORTANT
Using curled, creased, or folded envelopes may cause paper jams. Load envelopes after following the procedure below.

Neatly align the envelopes.

1. Place the envelopes on a clean, level surface, and press all the way around the envelopes by hand, in the direction of the arrows, to remove any curls.

Repeat this step five times for each set of five envelopes.

Hold down the four corners of the envelopes firmly, so that they and the sealed or glued portion stay flat.

* Flap

IMPORTANT
If you use envelopes that have glue attached to their flaps, the glue may melt due to the heat and pressure of the fixing unit. Take particular care to spread the envelopes out in the direction that they will be fed. Do not print on the back side of the envelopes (the side with the flap). If the envelopes become filled with air, flatten them by hand before loading them into the Envelope Feeder Attachment-D1.

Loading Envelopes

This section explains how to load envelopes into Paper Drawer 2.

Open the drawer.

	1. Press and release the button on Paper Drawer 2.
	2. Grip the handle, and pull out the paper drawer until it stops.

Load the envelopes into the drawer.

	1. Load 10 envelopes at a time with the side you want to print on facing up. While loading the envelopes, press down on the left side of the receptacle to lock them into place.
	2. Align the leading edges of the envelopes, and make sure that they are held in place under the claws.

Load the envelopes as shown in the illustration below.

IMPORTANT
Envelopes which have been rolled or curled must be straightened out prior to use. Make sure that the height of the envelope stack does not exceed the height limit mark (). The maximum height (quantity) of envelopes that can be loaded into the cassette is approximately 1 1/4" (30 mm). The maximum height (quantity) of envelopes varies, depending on the envelope type and user operating conditions, but as a reference, 1 1/4" (30 mm) is approximately 50 envelopes.

CAUTION
When returning the paper drawer to its original position, be careful not to get your fingers caught, as this may result in personal injury.

IMPORTANT
Never place paper or any other items in the empty part of the paper drawer next to the envelopes. Doing so may cause paper jams.

NOTE
If output has been stopped due to an insufficient number of envelopes, load more envelopes, and follow the instructions on the touch panel display. Printing resumes.
