Envelopes

2

Most envelopes will be suitable for your
machine. However, some envelopes will
have feed and print-quality problems
because of the way they have been made.
A suitable envelope should have edges with
straight, well-creased folds and the leading
edge should not be thicker than two pieces of
paper. The envelope should lie flat and not be
of baggy or flimsy construction. You should
buy quality envelopes from a supplier who
understands that you will be using the
envelopes in a laser machine.

Envelopes can only be fed from MP tray.

Before you put envelopes in the tray, check
the following:

„

Envelopes should have a lengthwise
sealing flap.

„

The sealing flaps should be folded crisply
and correctly (irregularly cut or folded
envelopes may cause paper jams).

„

Envelopes should consist of two layers of
paper in the area circled in figure below.

1 Feeding direction

Note

• Before you print envelopes, you must ‘fan’

the stack to avoid paper jams and
misfeeds.

• Before you print a lot of envelopes, test

one to make sure that the print results are
what you want.

• Envelope joints that are sealed by the

manufacturer should be secure.

• DO NOT put different types of paper in the

paper tray at the same time because it
may cause paper jams or misfeeds.

• DO NOT print envelopes using duplex

printing.

• For proper printing, you must choose the

same paper size from your software
application as the paper in the tray.

• We recommend that you do not print

within 0.6 in. (15 mm) of the edges of
envelopes.

• See Acceptable paper and other

media on page 10.
