Printing onto envelopes or postcards

●Attempting to print onto both sides of envelopes or postcards may result in misfeeds or poor prints.

●Do not use pre-printed envelopes.

●Before inserting a postcard or envelope, straighten any curled edges. Curled edges may cause creases, color deviations, misfeeds, and poor quality images.

Printing onto envelopes

●Attempting to print on envelopes that have metal clasps, plastic snaps, string closures, windows, linings, self- adhesive patches or synthetic materials may cause misfeeds, inadequate toner adherence or other trouble.

●Envelopes with embossed surfaces may cause the prints to become smudged.

●Under high humidity and temperature conditions the glue flaps on some envelopes may become sticky and be sealed closed when printed.

●Use only envelopes which are flat and crisply folded. Curled or poorly formed envelopes may be poorly printed or may cause misfeeds.

●Print quality is not guaranteed in the area 13/32" or 10 mm from the edges of the envelope.

●Print quality is not guaranteed on parts of envelopes where there is a

large step-like change of thickness, such as on three-layer or four-layer envelopes.

●Print quality is not guaranteed on envelopes having peel off flaps for sealing the envelopes.

Fusing unit pressure adjusting levers

In some cases damage to the envelopes, color deviations, or smudging may occur even if envelopes within the specifications are used. This problem may be reduced by shifting the fusing unit pressure adjusting levers from their normal pressure position to the lower pressure position. Follow the procedure on the next page. (2-7)

NOTE

Be sure to return the lever to the normal position when you have finished feeding envelopes. If not, inadequate toner adherence, paper misfeeds or other trouble may occur.
