Guidelines for special print media

MEDIA TYPE		GUIDELINES
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.

MEDIA TYPE		GUIDELINES
	• 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 83. 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 83.
	-	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 83.
	• 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.
