2. Menu overview and basic setup
To print an envelope, place it as shown in the following figure.
• When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:
-Weight: should not exceed 90 g/m2 otherwise; jams may
occur.
-Construction: should lie flat with less than 6 mm curl and
should not contain air.
-Condition: should not be wrinkled, nicked, nor damaged.
-Temperature: should resist 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 (about 170°C
(338 °F)). 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.
Transparency
In case of color printing using transparencies, the picture
quality would be lower than mono printing when the
printouts are used on the overhead projector.
