Envelopes | • | Successful printing on envelopes depends upon | |||||
|
| the quality of the envelopes. When selecting | |||||
|
| envelopes, consider the following factors: | |||||
|
| - | Weight: The weight of the envelope paper | ||||
|
|
| should not exceed 90 g/m2 or jamming may | ||||
|
|
| occur. | ||||
|
| - | Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes | ||||
|
|
| should lie flat with less than 6 mm curl, and | ||||
|
|
| should not contain air. | ||||
|
| - | Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, | ||||
|
|
| nicked, or otherwise damaged. | ||||
|
| - | Temperature: You should use envelopes that | ||||
|
|
| are compatible with the heat and pressure of | ||||
|
|
| the machine during operation. | ||||
| • | Use only | |||||
|
| and well creased folds. | |||||
| • | Do not use stamped envelopes. | |||||
| • | Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, | |||||
|
| windows, coated lining, | |||||
|
| other synthetic materials. | |||||
| • | Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes. | |||||
| • | Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope | |||||
|
| extends all the way to the corner of the | |||||
|
| envelope. | |||||

| Guidelines |
|
|
| |
| • | Envelopes with a | |
|
| more than one flap that folds over to seal must | |
|
| use adhesives compatible with the machine’s | |
|
| fusing temperature for 0.1 second. Check your | |
|
| machine’s specification to view the fusing | |
|
| temperature, see page 10.1. The extra flaps and | |
|
| strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, | |
|
| and may even damage the fuser. | |
| • | For the best print quality, position margins no | |
|
| closer than 15 mm from the edges of the | |
|
| envelope. | |
| • | Avoid printing over the area where the | |
|
| envelope’s seams meet. | |
|
|
| |
Labels | • | To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels | |
|
| designed for use in laser machines. | |
| • | When selecting labels, consider the following | |
|
| factors: | |
|
| - | Adhesives: The adhesive material should be |
|
|
| stable at your machine’s fusing temperature. |
|
|
| Check your machine’s specification to view the |
|
|
| fusing temperature, see page 10.1. |
|
| - | Arrangement: Only use labels with no |
|
|
| exposed backing between them. Labels can |
|
|
| peel off sheets that have spaces between the |
|
|
| labels, causing serious jams. |
|
| - | Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with |
|
|
| no more than 13 mm of curl in any direction. |
|
| - | Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, |
|
|
| bubbles, or other indications of separation. |
| • | Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive | |
|
| material between labels. Exposed areas can | |
|
| cause labels to peel off during printing, which | |
|
| can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can | |
|
| also cause damage to machine components. | |
| • Do not run a sheet of labels through the machine | ||
|
| more than once. The adhesive backing is | |
|
| designed for only a single pass through the | |
|
| machine. | |
| • | Do not use labels that are separating from the | |
|
| backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or | |
|
| otherwise damaged. | |
|
|
| |
Card stock or | • | Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm wide | |
| or 356 mm long. | ||
materials | • | In the software application, set margins at least | |
|
| 6.4 mm away from the edges of the material. | |
