HP 1022nw manual Cardstock and heavy media, Envelopes with double-side seams

Envelopes with double-side seams

An envelope with double-side-seam construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style might be more likely to wrinkle. Make sure that the seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as shown in the following illustration.

Envelopes with adhesive strips or flaps

Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the heat and pressure in the printer. The printer's maximum temperature is 200°C (392°F). The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams.

Envelope storage

Proper storage of envelopes contributes to good print quality. You should store envelopes flat. If air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, the envelope might wrinkle during printing.

	Cardstock and heavy media
	You can print many types of cardstock from the media input trays, including index cards and
	postcards. Some cardstock performs better than others because its construction is better
	suited for feeding through a laser printer.
	For optimum printer performance, do not use paper heavier than 157 g/m2 (42 lb). Paper that
	is too heavy might cause misfeeds, stacking problems, paper jams, poor toner fusing, poor
	print quality, or excessive mechanical wear.
	You might be able to print on heavier paper if you do not fill the input tray to capacity and if
NOTE
	you use paper with a smoothness rating of 100-180 Sheffield.
