Guidelines for Printing Envelope

Envelopes can be printed from Tray 1 and from the manual feed slot.

Do not perform automatic 2-sided printing using envelopes.

Successful envelope printing is highly dependent on the quality and construction of the envelopes. Use envelopes made specifically for laser printers, in the supported sizes. For a listing of supported envelope sizes for Tray 1 and the manual feed slot, see Supported Paper on page 48.

Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid the effects of moisture and dryness, which can affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the envelopes to seal before or during printing. For best results, maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.

Do not use padded envelopes. Purchase envelopes that lie flat.

Remove air bubbles from the envelopes before loading by setting a heavy book on top of the envelopes.

If wrinkling or embossing problems occur, use a different brand of envelope made specifically for laser printers.

CAUTION: Never use envelopes with windows or metal clasps because they can damage the printer. Damage caused by using unsupported envelopes is not covered under the Xerox® Warranty, Service Agreement, or Total Satisfaction Guarantee. The Total Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage can vary outside these areas. Please contact your local representative for details.
