WorkCentre Pro 555/575 C-7
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.
CAUTION
Envelope characteristics are subject to change
based on the supplier, and on the particular batch of
envelopes from the same supplier ordered at
different times.
To assure maximum performance, select envelopes with the following
characteristics:
•
Commercial, official, or business envelopes with diagonal seams.
•
Basic weight of 90gsm/24lbs for substrate papers of varying
grades.
•
Grain direction: diagonal or straight (diagonal is preferred to
maximise stiffness)
• Adhesive: must not melt, offset, or emit hazardous chemicals
when heated in excess of 195°C/383°F
•
Curl: should not have visible levels of curl.
•
Must not be wrinkled, have localised curl (around adhesive area)
or damaged in any way
•
Must be square and straight
Avoid envelopes with:
•
Mechanical closures (tie strings or snaps)
•
Transparent windows
•
Folds that are not completely creased
•
Peel-off (strip release) adhesive strips
