Xerox PE220 manual Envelopes with Double Side Seams, Minimum Maximum

10 Specifications

•Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.

•The air should not be too dry or too humid.

•The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap it tightly in its moisture-proof wrapping. If the machine environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the amount of paper to be used during the day’s operation to prevent unwanted moisture changes.

Envelopes

Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following components:

•Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 20 lb (75 g/ m2) or jamming may occur.

•Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 0.25 inches (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.

•Size: You should only use envelopes within the following size ranges.

Minimum	Maximum
3 x 5 in.	8.5 x 14 in.
(76 x 127 mm)	(216 x 356 mm)

NOTE:

•Load only one envelope at a time to print envelopes.

•You may experience some paper jams when using any media with a length less than 5.5 in. (140 mm). This may be caused by paper that has been affected by environmental conditions. For optimum performance, make sure you are storing and handling the paper correctly. Please refer to Paper Storage Environment on page 10-9..

Envelopes with Double Side Seams

Double side-seams construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style may be more likely to wrinkle.
