Print envelopes without jams

Envelopes need the right orientation, the right media setting, and a light touch on the guides.

01 · Identify — does this match what you see?

  • Envelope jams every time
  • Address prints upside down
  • Flap creases in the rollers

02 · Resolve — follow in order

  1. 1

    Flatten each envelope and press the flap crease firmly.

  2. 2

    Load envelopes with the flap closed and to the left, address side up, in the rear tray.

  3. 3

    Choose Envelope as the media type and pick the correct size in the print dialog.

  4. 4

    Feed no more than five at a time.

  5. 5

    Print one test envelope before running a batch.

Pro tip

Padded and window envelopes are not supported on most home PIXMA models — hand-write those.
