Use envelopes that weigh from 75 to
95 gsm.
Some envelopes need margin settings to
be set in the application. Make sure you
do a test print first.

problems:
That are of a baggy construction.

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.
