Laser Safety
This machine complies with 21 CFR Chapter 1 Subchapter J as a Class 1 laser product under the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for
Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means that the machine does not produce hazardous laser radiation.
Since radiation emitted inside the fax is completely confined within protective housings, and external covers, the
laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.
CDRH Regulations
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration implemented
regulations for laser products on August 2, 1976. These regulations apply to laser products manufactured from
August 1, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in the United States.
• Use of controls, adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified in this user’s
guide may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
This label is attached to the laser scanner unit inside the fax and is
not in a user access area.

1
Arrange the stack of envelopes on a firm,
clean 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.
Also, press firmly on the area that corresponds to
the edges of the back flap.
2
Remove any curling from the envelopes by
holding the edges diagonally and bending
them gently.
3
Run a pen or other rounded object along
the back flaps to flatten them.
• The flaps should not bulge more than 0.2 inch
(5 mm).
4
Insert the stack of envelopes into the multipurpose tray
q, and adjust the slide guides
to fit the size of the envelope w.
• Position the envelopes with the print side up (flaps
should not be visible) and load the envelope so
that the right edge (stamp side) feeds first in the
multi-purpose tray.
• If the envelope to be loaded has a flap on the short
edge, this edge must enter the machine first. Not
loading it this way will result in paper jams.
• Make sure the stack does not exceed the paper
limit guide.
• The machine is now ready to print.
• The orientation of a document and the
loading position of the envelope are
reversed.
• To select the type of envelope to be loaded
in the multi-purpose tray, follow the
procedure below:
Press Additional Functions, then
