Continuous Feeding
Standard Feeders: One Paper Tray [capacity: 100 sheets or 10 envelopes ]
Envelope Feeding
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and on-line.
2. If you are using the
Canon BJC-600 Windows driver, skip this step. Otherwise, turn on
the envelope mode. Press the on-line button to set the printer
off line. Press the Paper Select button until both the envelope
light and the thick light are one. Press on-line to set the
printer back on-line
3. Make sure the green paper
thickness lever on the inside of the printer is set to the up
position.
4. Set the paper selection
lever to the forward position and move the paper guide to the
left to match the width of the envelopes.
5. Arrange the stack of envelopes on a firm surface and press down firmly on the edges to make the folds crisp. Press all the way around the envelopes to remove any curls and expel air from inside the envelopes.
6. Align the stack of
envelopes with the right edge of the sheet feeder, and slide in
the stack until it stops.
7. Adjust the paper guide to the stack of envelopes.
8. Print from your application.
After printing on envelopes, follow these steps before printing on normal paper again:
1. Set the paper selection lever (on the right side of the sheet feeder) to the back position.
2. Set the green paper thickness lever (inside the printer) to the down position.
3. If you enabled the envelope mode, disable it now. Make sure the printer is off-line; then press the Paper Select button until the envelope light goes out. Press the on line button to set the printer back on line.
