How does it do if you need to print 7-8 envelopes in the manual feed? Does it only do one at a time?

Yes, only one at a time. You could take the paper tray out and fill it with envelopes.

I'm not at our home with that printer so while I think it does (where you print envelopes) I can't say for sure; however I print 3 part checks from the regular paper tray with no problem.

On top of the regular paper tray there is a single sheet feeder that is also for envelopes. So yes, you can feed an envelope from there manually one at a time. When you stick something in that top manual feed section it automatically disables the lower tray so you don't have to change any settings, it just pulls from the manual feed spot. I don't print on envelopes so I haven't actually used the single sheet tray for that but I have used it for other things.

Indeed it does, which is a big reason that I chose this printer over a printer of another well-known manufacturer. I print odd-sized envelopes frequently, not just standard #10 business envelopes, and the printer handles them like a champ. By the way, envelopes are fed in from the top paper tray, as are any other nonstandard papers, such as card stock and photo paper.

I have used 110 lb cardstock with this printer and it prints fine with it. They recommend loading "special" paper from the back, but I've used it in the front-loading tray. As to the envelope question, there is a guide both in the front and rear. As to whether or not it's specific for envelopes, I don't know. I haven't printed envelopes yet. But the guides to adjust to accommodate envelope-sized items.

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.

Yes, you scan each page then there is a "staple" feature. No, you can not feed multiple pages, just one at a time.

It does have a document feeder, not sure how many pages it will handle at one time. Not related to scanning, I do have problems with the paper feed feeding multiple (sometimes up to five pages at a time) when printing though, this is very problematic if you have a limited amount of paper (ie, specialty paper).

I feed card stock and other special items such as fabric (yes it will print on fabric, that is backed with freezer paper) one at a time, and I have had no problem. I really like this printer alot.

I just performed a test to see how it will do. I loaded 5 sheets of heavyweight card stock in the tray. The first one fed and printed fine, the rest jammed. I tried a couple times with no success. It will feed a single sheet at a time through the front feed (what I call the envelope feeder), but it is not reliable at feeding a stack of heavyweight card stock. EDIT******** Well, I'll be darned. Looks like I just need to do a little more reading. I tried what Stephen suggested, (Setting the paper to thick) and it worked fine. My apologies, it works with card stock.

Yes Adam, you can scam multiple pages to a single file with the auto doc feed feature. By the way, this is the best printed I ever had by far, its fast, quiet, powerful

Not sure of the question... It prints one page at s time. Great printer I love mine. It is a bit slow so spend the extra $100 and buy the next model up if you need a fast printer.

This printer has an internal paper tray (referred to as the cassette) that will hold 150 sheets of plain paper. It's great because there is a tray selection mode called "Paper Allocation" where you tell the print driver what kind of paper is loaded in the cassette (I have plain paper in there.) When I print using plain paper the printer will access the cassette. But if I select some other type of paper then it automatically feeds from the rear tray. I never have to fuss with which tray to feed from. This is nice because I print on envelopes so I never end up printing an address on plain paper, or trying to print a letter on an envelope.

I print all my envelopes at work with this printer (probably 10-15 per week) and it works great for me. Just pull down the manual feed tray, insert the blank envelope (as shown in the drawing on the feed tray) and click "print." So far no jams. Have had this printer at work for about 6 months. I don't know why another reviewer said the printed envelopes come out the back of the printer. Mine don't. They come out printed side down at the same place a printed sheet of paper comes out. (To clarify, I am using #10 size business envelopes.)

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.

It will print one envelope at a time from the slot at bottom front and center.....you will need to go into the printer setup -- for each envelope -- and click on the MS Word menu labeled "Copies & Pages," click again on "Paper Feed" and when "All Pages From:" appears click on the menu to the right to bring up "Manual Envelope" Then click again on Paper Feed and choose "Paper Handling" drop down and click on Scale to fit paper size, and then pick paper size (#10 business is default). Lexmark will tell you to save this printer setting with some name like ENVELOPE. In my experience, you need to do all these settings for every single envelope, even the ones immediately following each other. Pain in the ass, but it works.

I have never been able to get it to feed anything higher than 30# papers and only one sheet at a time. You have to take out the regular paper as well or it will double feed.
