Envelopes

• Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the

 

quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes,

 

consider the following factors:

 

-

Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should

 

 

not exceed 90 g/m2 or jamming may occur.

 

-

Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should

 

 

lie flat with less than 6 mm curl, and should not

 

 

contain air.

 

-

Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled,

 

 

nicked, or otherwise damaged.

 

-

Temperature: You should use envelopes that are

 

 

compatible with the heat and pressure of the

 

 

machine during operation.

 

• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and

 

well creased folds.

 

• Do not use stamped envelopes.

 

• Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows,

 

coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic

 

materials.

 

• Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.

 

• Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope

 

extends all the way to the corner of the envelope.

Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the machine’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second. Check your machine’s specification to view the fusing temperature, see page 48. The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even damage the fuser.

For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm from the edges of the envelope.

Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.

Labels

• To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels

 

designed for use in laser machines.

 

-

When selecting labels, consider the following

 

 

factors:

 

-

Adhesives: The adhesive material should be

 

 

stable at your machine’s fusing temperature.

 

 

Check your machine’s specification to view the

 

 

fusing temperature, see page 48.

 

-

Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed

 

 

backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets

 

 

that have spaces between the labels, causing

 

 

serious jams.

 

-

Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no

 

 

more than 13 mm of curl in any direction.

 

-

Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles,

 

 

bubbles, or other indications of separation.

 

• Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive

 

material between labels. Exposed areas can cause

 

labels to peel off during printing, which can cause

 

paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause

 

damage to machine components.

 

• Do not run a sheet of labels through the machine

 

more than once. The adhesive backing is designed

 

for only a single pass through the machine.

 

• Do not use labels that are separating from the

 

backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise

 

damaged.

 

 

Card stock or

• Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm wide or

custom-sized

356 mm long.

materials

• In the software application, set margins at least

 

6.4 mm away from the edges of the material.

 

 

Preprinted

• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant ink

paper

that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous

 

emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing

 

temperature for 0.1 second. Check your machine’s

 

specification to view the fusing temperature, see

 

page 48.

 

• Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and should

 

not adversely affect printer rollers.

 

• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a

 

moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during

 

storage.

 

• Before you load preprinted paper, such as forms

 

and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is

 

dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off

 

preprinted paper, reducing print quality.

 

 

 

Using photographic paper or coated paper may cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered by Samsung’s warranty or service agreements.
