Envelopes
Depending on the envelopes, it is possible to expect variable levels of wrinkling.
It is recommended that you try a sample first before buying large quantities of
any print media. See
"
Loading Envelopes in the Standard 250-Sheet Tray and
the Optional 250-Sheet Feeder
"
or
"
Loading an Envelope in the SSF
"
for
instructions on loading an envelope.
When printing on envelopes:
Use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for use in laser printers.
Set the print media source to the single sheet feeder or the standard 250-sheet
tray. Set the paper type to
Envelope
, and select the correct size of envelope
from the printer driver.
Use envelopes made from 75 g/m
2
(20 lb bond) paper. You can use up to 105
g/m
2
(28 lb bond) weight for the envelope feeder as long as the cotton
content is 25 % or less. Envelopes with 100 % cotton content must not
exceed 90 g/m
2
(24 lb bond) weight.
Use only freshly unpackaged, undamaged envelopes.
Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 205 °C (401 °F) without
sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. If
you have any doubts about the envelopes you are considering, check with the
envelope supplier.
