Envelopes

 

You can print many types of envelopes from Tray 1. Printing

 

performance varies depending on the construction of the envelope. It is

 

important to test a sample envelope before purchasing a large quantity.

 

To reduce envelope curl use the rear output tray.

 

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

C a u t i o n

 

exposed 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 Construction

 

 

Envelope construction is very critical. Envelope fold lines can vary

 

considerably, not only between manufacturers but also within a box

 

from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on envelopes is very

 

dependent upon the quality of the media.

Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 28 lb (105 g/m2) or jamming may result.

Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 0.25 in (6 mm) curl.

Manufacture: Make sure envelopes are not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.

Sizes: Use only envelopes within the following sizes in Tray 1:

Minimum: 3 x 5 in (76 mm x 127 mm)

Maximum: 8.5 x 14 in (216 mm x 356 mm)
