WARNING!

Caution

Printing Envelopes

Many types of envelopes can be printed from Tray 1. (Up to 10 can be stacked in the tray.) Printing performance depends on the construction of the envelope. Always test a few sample envelopes before purchasing a large quantity.

•Set margins at least 0.6 inch (15 mm) from the edge of the envelope.

•To minimize curl and wrinkling, always print envelopes to the rear output bin.

When you print large numbers of envelopes and standard paper, for best printing performance print paper first, then envelopes. To alternate paper and envelopes, from the Configuration Menu in the printer’s control panel select SMALL PAPER SPEED=SLOW.

Never use envelopes with coated linings, exposed self-stick adhesives, or other synthetic materials. These items can emit noxious fumes.

Envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, exposed self-stick adhesives, or other synthetic materials can severely damage the printer.

To avoid jamming and possible printer damage, never try to print on both sides of an envelope.

Before you load envelopes, make sure they are flat and not damaged or stuck together. Do not use envelopes with pressure-sensitive adhesive. (For envelope specifications, see page A-9.)
