C a u t i o n

Never use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings,

 

self-stick adhesives, or other synthetic materials. These items can

 

severely damage your printer.

 

Never try to print on both sides of an envelope. Jamming and printer

 

damage can result.

 

Before you load envelopes in Tray 1, check to make sure they are

 

regular in shape and undamaged. Also, check to see that the envelopes

 

are not stuck together.

 

 

Envelope Storage

Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to quality printing:

Envelopes should be stored in an air-tight container, protecting the envelopes from moisture.

Envelopes should be kept flat when being stored. Loose envelopes may trap air inside. This could create an air bubble which would wrinkle the envelope during printing.
