paper.
Do one of the following:
Insert paper,
glossy or printable side up and short edge first, in the center of
the slot.

edge to the left, in the center of the slot.
Slide the edge guides against the paper, but not too
tightly.

If you have
trouble loading a stack of envelopes, press each envelope flat
before loading it or load one envelope at a time.

declines when printing multiple envelopes, try loading one envelope
at a time.
