Envelope feeding

Follow these preventive measures when feeding envelopes:

Envelopes can be manually fed through the printer, or they can be fed automatically through an envelope tray or feeder.

Closely inspect the leading edge of the envelopes before feeding them into the printer.

Ensure that the leading edge is flat.

Do not use envelopes with excessive curl.

Flatten the leading edge of the envelope before printing.

Wait an appropriate time; in manual-feed mode, the printer displays a message when it is ready to accept the next envelope. Wait for this message to appear before inserting the next envelope.

Do not allow a large quantity of envelopes to accumulate in the output bin.

On most printers, use the rear (or front) output bin (if available) when printing envelopes. Do not use the top (face-down) output bin.

Envelope construction

The corner folds need to be well-creased, with no more than two thicknesses of paper.

The envelopes must lie flat.

The paper grain should be diagonal to the direction of the feed.

Adhesives must meet HP specifications for fusing compatibility.

Basis weight must not exceed 105 g/m2 (28 pounds).

Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, tie strings, or windows.

Do not use envelopes made of synthetic materials.
