Envelopes

Most envelopes will be suitable for your machine. However, some envelopes will have feed and print-quality problems because of the way they have been made. A suitable envelope should have edges with straight, well-creased folds and the leading edge should not be thicker than two pieces of paper. The envelope should lie flat and not be of baggy or flimsy construction. You should buy quality envelopes from a supplier who understands that you will be using the envelopes in a laser machine.

Envelopes can only be fed from the MP tray.

Before you put envelopes in the tray, check the following:

„Envelopes should have a lengthwise sealing flap.

„The sealing flaps should be folded crisply and correctly (irregularly cut or folded envelopes may cause paper jams).

„Envelopes should consist of two layers of paper in the area circled in figure below.

one to make sure that the print results are what you want.

•Envelope joints that are sealed by the manufacturer should be secure.

•DO NOT put different types of paper in the paper tray at the same time because it may cause paper jams or misfeeds.

•For proper printing, you must choose the same paper or envelope size from your software application as the size of paper or envelopes you load in the tray and set in Paper settings on page 21.

•DO NOT print envelopes using duplex printing.

•We recommend that you do not print within 0.6 in. (15 mm) of the edges of the envelopes.

•See Acceptable paper and other media on page 12.
