Envelopes You can load up to 15 envelopes in the multipurpose feeder. Load envelopes with the flap side down and the short edge nearest the return address area positioned to enter the printer first, as shown. Do not load stamped envelopes. Refer to the Setup Guide for additional loading instructions.
To ensure the best print quality, make sure you set the Paper Type to Envelope and select the correct envelope size before sending the job to print.
When printing on envelopes:
• Try a sample of any envelopes you are considering using with the printer before buying large quanti- ties.
•Use envelopes made from 90 to 105 g/m2 (24 to
28 lb) bond paper. For best performance and fewer paper jams, do not use envelopes that:
–Have excessive curl
–Are stuck together
–Are damaged in any way
–Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing
–Use metal clasps or string ties
–Have postage stamps attached
–Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position
•Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 195°C (383°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
•Adjust the left and right paper guides to fit the width of the envelopes.
•To minimize curl, use the rear output bin so the envelopes feed straight out the back of the printer.
