Feeding Envelop Stock

How a particular envelope performs in the WorkCentre Pro 555/575 depends largely on the quality of the envelope. Envelopes come in many sizes, materials and styles. Before ordering or purchasing a large supply of any particular envelope, Xerox advises a short printing test of the candidate envelope through the WorkCentre Pro 555/575 to be sure that the type of envelope performs satisfactorily.

To achieve continuous high-quality performance from the WorkCentre Pro 555/575, you need both quality-manufactured envelopes and careful, experienced use of the WorkCentre Pro 555/575.
