The error code says tray is empty, but envelopes are in there...The options in size on the printer are COM-10, Monarch,DL, and C5, none of which work for the size of envelopes I am using. :(

Envelopes must be run from the bypass tray at the side of the machine. touch the paper trays on the touch screen. Set the bypass to envelope and com10. when you go to print, make sure the paper type is set to envelope under printer preferances.

You have to select the Manual Feed Tray by touching the picture of the copy machine on the LCD screen. That will then show you the paper trays. Touch the paper type soft key for the Bypass/Manual Feed Tray and then select envelope. then press ok a couple of times till you are back to the main screen. Put your envelopes face down on the Bypass/Manual Feed Tray. If you are printing from a computer do the same thing after you go to printing preference/properties.

Your using european standards instead of USA. Change the paper size to Auto Inch.

In the bypass tray on the left side of the machine, face down envelope flap opening toward the rear of the machine.

Install the print driver, from the app you are printing from select your copier and then Properties, under the Paper tab you can select your paper type and tray. Only use the right side manual feed tray for envelopes. You may also need to set paper type ENVELOPE COM-10 in the copier. Extend the manual feed tray fully and set the guides or the copier will not read the correct size.

You probably have incorrect log in details (Username & password)

Go to custom setting, paper size setting for by pass tray, use custom measurement,input the size of the envelopes ( in X Y mode ). When you print, go to the properties and change the paper tray select from auto to by pass tray.
Good luck.

You can load up to 10 envelopes in the standard tray. Try a sample of any envelopes you are
considering using with the printer before buying large quantities. See Loading envelopes in the
standard tray for instructions on loading envelopes.
When printing on envelopes:
• To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality envelopes that are designed
for use in laser printers.
• Set the Paper Source in the Paper Menu based on the source you are using, set the Paper
Type to Envelope, and select the correct envelope size from the operator panel, the printer
driver, or from MarkVision Professional.
• For best performance, use envelopes made from 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond) paper. You can use up
to 105 g/m2 (28 lb bond) weight for the 250-sheet standard tray or 105 g/m2 (28 lb bond)
weight for envelopes as long as the cotton content is 25% or less. Envelopes with 100%
cotton content must not exceed 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond) weight.
• Use only new, undamaged envelopes.
• For best performance and to minimize jams, do not use envelopes that:
– Have excessive curl or twist.
– Are stuck together or damaged in any way.
– Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts or embossing.
– Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars.
– Have an interlocking design
– Have postage stamps attached
– Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position
– Have nicked edges or bent corners
– Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes
• Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 170°C (338°F) without sealing, excessive
curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. If you have any doubts about the
envelopes you are considering using, check with the envelope supplier.
• Adjust the width guide to fit the width of the envelopes.
• Load only one size of envelope at a time in the tray. Envelopes may only be loaded in the
standard tray. Load them with the flap down and the flap to the left of the tray.
• A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and the high printing temperatures may seal the
envelopes.

Loading envelopes in the standard tray
The recommended stack height is 10 envelopes; however, in normal environments as many as 15
envelopes may be loaded. In high temperature or humidity environments, only seven envelopes
should be loaded.
1 Pull the standard tray completely out.
2 Squeeze the length guide tabs together as shown in step 2 on page 42. Slide the guide to
the correct position for the size of envelope you are loading.
3 Squeeze the width guide tabs as shown in step 3 on page 42. Slide the width guide to the
correct position for the size of envelope you are loading. Notice the size indicators on the
bottom left of the tray.
4 Push the envelope stack aid tabs toward each other. They snap into place.
5 Flex a stack of envelopes back and forth and then straighten the edges on a level surface.
Press down the corners to flatten them.
Fan the envelopes. This prevents the edges of the envelopes from sticking together and helps
them feed properly.
6 Load envelopes flap side down with the stamp area and flap on the right. The end of the envelope with the stamp area enters the printer first.

7 Insert the standard tray.
