Tips for printing custom sizes

lDo not print on media smaller than 3 inches (76.2 mm) wide or 5 inches (127 mm) tall.

lSet margins of at least 0.25 inch (6.4 mm) in your software.

lAlways insert media vertically (portrait orientation) into the product. If you want to print in landscape mode, make this selection through your software.

Tips for printing envelopes

lLow operating humidity (less than 50 percent relative humidity) often results in a background gray cast. (This is often most noticeable during the winter months.) For best results, print envelopes in an environment with humidity of 50 percent or more. Also, try to store envelopes in that same condition for at least 24 hours before printing. (Note that background gray cast is sometimes also evident just after installing a new toner cartridge.)

lIf possible, verify that envelope adhesive can withstand temperatures up to 392° F (200° C). This is the temperature of the fusing assembly during printing.

lIf envelopes are coming out wrinkled, try flattening the edges of the envelope with a ruler or other flat object before feeding it through the product. Or, try using a different brand of envelope.

lKeep the printer clean. Contaminants such as loose toner and paper dust can interfere with the printing process.
