Printing Envelopes

 

 

 

You can print envelopes from Tray 1 or from the optional Envelope

 

 

Feeder. This section explains how to print envelopes from Tray 1 using

 

 

your software application or the printer control panel. If you purchased

 

 

the optional Envelope Feeder, see “Printing with the Envelope Feeder”

 

 

later in this chapter (see the Envelope Feeder User’s Guide for detailed

 

 

instructions).

 

 

 

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

C a u t i o n

 

 

 

self-stick adhesives (peel and seal), 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, make sure they are regular in

 

 

 

 

shape and undamaged. Also, check to see that the envelopes are not

 

 

stuck together.

 

 

 

Table 4-3 lists the kinds of envelopes you can print in Tray 1. It is

 

 

important that the basis weight of the envelope paper be no more than

 

 

28 lb (105 g/m2). Thicker envelopes can jam your printer. (See

 

 

Appendix A for additional notes on envelope construction and

 

 

specifications.)
