Guidelines for special print media

Media type	Guidelines
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 well-constructed envelopes with sharp and well creased folds.

•Do not use stamped envelopes.

•Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or 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.

Acceptable

Unacceptable

•Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with 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 98 mm wide
custom-sized		or 148 mm long.
materials	•	In the software application, set margins at least
		6.4 mm away from the edges of the material.
Preprinted	•	Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant
paper		ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release
		hazardous emissions when subjected to the
		printer’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second.
		Check your machine’s specification to view the
		fusing temperature, see page 10.1.
	•	Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and
		should not adversely affect printer rollers.
	•	Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a
		moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes
		during storage.
	•	Before you load preprinted paper, such as forms
		and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is
		dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come
		off preprinted paper, reducing print quality.
