If this printer has 2 paper trays, is it possible to fill the small tray with envelopes (instead of envelope feeder) &amp; use the larger tray for paper?

Hi I have been using this machine for about almost 2 years. The envelopes can be feeded via the front tray not via the bottom tray. Even if you have 2 trays.

Yes, it can. I envy you have this model. I enjoyed mine except for the poor quality of the top feed tray. When I had to replace my printer I found it was no longer availability so I had to choose another model.

No separate bypass output tray - so if the stock or envelopes are hard (to hard to bend) you will probably jam the unit.On a side note -- I have tried some pretty hard "poster board" paper with no problems.

Yes - However this printer sometimes has a mind of its own if you try and use the tray feed. If you do not put the paper/checks in AFTER you click the print button, it will pull from the letter tray instead of the feeder tray. Annoying to say the least, waste of paper, and at times I have to open both trays so it cannot pull from them to get the printer to recognize the feeder. I would not buy this machine again.

Go to your Printer Properties and select tray 1 or 2. Is that what you needed?

Saying you can is not the same thing as saying it works. Like W.C. Hanson, Jr. I cannot print envelopes out of the multi-purpose tray. I follow all the instructions and it completely ignores the envelope. It does load it likes it going to work, but no matter what the settings I try it pulls only from the main paper tray. I spent hours trying to find an answer and "You certainly can" is not an answer!

Yes, I have printed quite a number of envelopes using this printer. You must adjust the two paddles on the feed tray to fit the width of the envelopes.

I have not printed envelopes on this model as yet but tray 2 under the machine can be set to hold the envelopes in the middle of the tray & since it appears to work in a similar manner to my former 3500a officejet I have no doubt it will work. So far I have done letter (single & double sided), legal (single & double sided) using tray 1 with has a side entry, as well as booklet using legal paper in tray 1. All printed without any issues & with a speed I used to just dream about. The 3500a was fast at over 30ppm but it slowed down a lot when doing double sided & could only do double sided with letter paper. This printer slows very little when you consider each sheet is 2 pages & does a great job. Since the envelopes are a single sided process I will have to test that just to find out but I suspect they will print at nearly full speed as well. I also just purchased the $129 5 cartridge ink set from the other estore & have just run a few test sheets with the black cartridge, much larger than the startup cartridge included with the printer, & there seems to be no issues there, so far. Time will tell but the price is worth the test. All in all, at this time, I couldn't be happier with this printer & its performance. I paid $300 for the 3500a about 5 years ago & printed many times the pages recommended & have now paid, it finally failed, the same for this printer so am looking forward to at least 5 years of great performance.

Envelopes are not a problem. Well, almost. I removed the paper from the carrier and inserted the envelope(s). 1 or 2 are no problem but more than that it will likely feed multiples at one time. It also will not work well with any media that doesn't take sharp bending well. For example I tried printing the front of CD envelopes. They got hung up on the cut-out and wouldn't feed. It would have been better with a manual feed without the sharp bend but that would increase the footprint.

You can definitely print #10 envelopes. I print them all the time. It's just a little more complicated than it should be. The secret is that you have to select the proper paper source in the printer dialog. Then, you need to put a single envelope face side up in the Upper/Multi-purpose Tray (it will start pulling it in, let go at that point) then turn on the screen and select COM10, hit enter, and select the proper paper source.

I printed on 8.5x11" photo paper via the rear paper feed. I didn't try through tray 2, as I did not want to bend the paper. I've had nothing but trouble with this printer, though. Epson is sending me my third printer, as the second one had the same clogged nozzles proble as the first.

Yes, the printer has dual trays. Yes, you can put labels in a supplemental input tray and regular paper in the standard bulk copy/printer input tray.

I have only printed two envelopes and they came out fine without jamming. The manual says you can print a maximum of 3 at a time (face up) using the front multi-purpose tray and adjust the width to match the envelopes width which is easy to do. The inconvenience is that you have to open the back of the machine (this is where the envelopes come out). I say this is an inconvenience because my printer has the back facing the wall which means I have to rotate it 90 degrees so I have room to open the back cover. I think most people place their machines with the back facing the wall. Otherwise, performance wise, it's 2/2 without a jam. I'll repost if I run into any problems.

If you print envelopes a lot, like I do, I think it works well using the two-tray 8630 version. Here's how I did it. Plain Paper goes into tray two, envelopes in tray one (only place they are supported). Now, on the display choose your Default Tray as Tray 2 and Lock Tray 1. This will make sure regular print jobs go to plain paper in tray 2 and if it runs out of paper the printer won't automatically pull from tray 1 (that's what tray lock means). Now, via the Web Interface for the printer I told it that Tray 2 has plain letter size paper, and Tray 1 has my envelopes (you specify size there). Now, when I print an envelope it knows to pull from Tray 1 and everything else goes to Tray 2. On my Mac I've never had to tell it what tray to use, the printer just knows and pulls from the correct location. Your mileage may vary, etc.

You should have no trouble using "Envelope Printer" with this printer. However, reading a few Customer Reviews on Amazon for this printer, it is no easy task setting the printer up to print envelopes. Hope this helps.

Yes. That is what I have. Just lift up the printer and drop in on the new tray. The printer recognizes the tray immediately as tray 3 (which is marked on the front of the tray.) Then, go to the menu on the printer and configure the tray for the type and size of paper you will be using in it.

I am sorry, but none of my clients have used that heavy paper in this printer. According to the online specs, the paper tray can only handle up to 28 lb stock.
