How do I Use an Envelope Feed for a Dell 5310N Printer?

The 5310N can efficiently print envelopes.

Typewriters are largely things out of the past, now computer users need another way to print the envelopes they need. Hand writing envelopes looks unprofessional, and using a sheet of labels to print one or two envelopes is wasteful and inefficient. That is why most modern laser printers, including the Dell 5310N printer, include an envelope tray to make printing envelopes faster and more efficient.

Things You'll Need

• Dell 5310N printer
• Envelopes
• Computer

Instructions

1. Grasp the handle on the front of the Dell 5310N and pull the bypass tray open. Insert an envelope and adjust the paper guides so that they fit snugly against the sides of the envelope.

2. Stack your envelopes in the bypass tray. It is best to start with only a few envelopes and make sure they properly feed before fully loading the tray.

3. Open your word processing software and send the print job to the 5310N. Watch as the envelopes feed into the tray. Adjust the paper guides if the envelopes are skewed, or if they jam as they enter the printer.
