Envelope Feeding Problems
Description
Possible Causes
Solution
More than one enve-
lope is feeding.
Too many envelopes are on the 
feed deck; envelopes are not 
stacked properly on the feed deck.
Remove some of the envelope and test 
with a smaller stack. 
Slant the envelopes slightly to the left (shin-
gled). 
Put thinner envelopes on top of thicker 
envelopes in feeder.
Envelopes are too thick/thin for 
feeder adjustment, or thickness 
adjustment knob is set improperly.
OR
Thickness adjustment knob is set 
too wide.
Adjust the thickness adjustment knob to corre-
spond to the envelope thickness. 
For thicker pieces of mail (3/8” to 5/8”), or 
mail containing several inserts, use the 
thick mail setting. For most mail under 3/8", 
use the normal mail settings.
For large stacks of thin mail, such as single 
inserts or post cards, the thin mail setting 
may be needed for better performance. .
Backstop is too close and is forc-
ing mail into the feeder.
Readjust backstop and restack mail.
