Loading envelopes and postcards

About envelopes

Use envelopes that weigh from 20 to 25 lb (80 to 95 g/m2).

Some envelopes need margin settings to be set in the application. Make sure you do a test print first before printing many envelopes.

IMPORTANT

DO NOT use any of the following types of envelopes, as they will cause paper feed problems:

•That are of a baggy construction.

•That have windows.

•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.

a Before loading, press the corners and sides of envelopes or postcards to make them as flat as possible.
