For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.6 in) from the edges of the envelope.
Envelope storage
Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to good print quality. Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, then the envelope may wrinkle during printing.
Card stock and heavy paper
Many types of card stock can be printed from tray 1, including index cards and postcards. Some card stock 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
199 g/m2 (53 lb) in tray 1 or 105 g/m2 (28 lb) in other trays. Paper that is too heavy might cause misfeeds, stacking problems, paper jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality, or excessive mechanical wear.
Printing on heavier paper may be possible if the tray is not filled to capacity, and short grain paper with a smoothness rating of 100 to 180 Sheffield is used.
