Envelopes
Most envelopes will be suitable for your
machine. However, some envelopes will
have feed and print-quality problems
because of the way they have been made. A
suitable envelope should have edges with
straight, well-creased folds and the leading
edge should not be thicker than two piec es of
paper. The envelope should lie flat and n ot be
of baggy or flimsy construction. You should
buy quality envelopes from a supplier who
understands that you will be usin g the
envelopes in a laser machine.
Envelopes can only be fed from T ray#1.
Note
We will not recommend a particular envelo pe
because envelope manufacturers may
change the envelope specifications. You ar e
responsible for the quality and performance
of the envelopes you use.
Before you put envelopes in the tray, check
the following:
■Envelopes should have a lengthwise
sealing flap.
■The sealing flaps should be folded crisply
and correctly (irregularly cut or folded
envelopes may cause paper jams).
■Envelopes should consist of two layers of
paper in the area circled in Figure 1.
Note
■Before you print envelopes, you must ‘fan’
the stack to avoid paper jams and
misfeeds.
■Before you print a lot of env elopes, test
one to make sure that the print results are
what you want.
■Envelope joints that are sealed b y the
manufacturer should be secure.
■Do not put different types of paper in the
paper tray at the same time because it
may cause paper jams or misfeeds.
■For proper printing, you must choose the
same paper size from your software
application as the paper in the tray.
■We recommend that you do not print
within 0.6 in. (15 mm) of the edges of
envelopes.
■See Acceptable paper and other media on
page 2-1.
