About envelopes 2

Use envelopes that weigh from 20 to 25 lb

(75 to 95 g/m2).

Some envelopes need margin settings to

be set in the application. Make sure you

do a test print first.

CAUTION

Do not use any of the following types of

envelopes, as they will cause paper feed

problems:

• That are of a baggy construction.

• That are embossed (have raised writing

on them).

• That have clasps or staples.

• That are pre-printed on the inside.

Occasionally you may experience paper

feed problems caused by the thickness,

size and flap shape of the envelopes you

are using.
