Envelopes
NOTE
Envelopes can be printed only from tray 1. Set the tray media size to the specific
Printing envelopes from tray 1
.
Adhere to the following guidelines to help ensure proper printing on envelopes and to help prevent printer
jams:
●
Do not load more than 10 envelopes into tray 1.
●
The weight rating of envelopes should not exceed 90 g/m
2
(24 lb bond).
●
Envelopes should be flat.
●
Do not use envelopes with windows or clasps.
●
Envelopes must not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.
●
Envelopes with peel-off adhesive strips must use adhesives that can withstand the heat and
pressures of the printer’s fusing process.
●
Envelopes should be loaded face-down with the top of the envelope to the left, and the short edge
feeding into the printer first.
NOTE
In high humidity environments, envelopes should be printed long-edge first to prevent
them from sealing during printing. For long-edge printing, envelopes should be loaded long edge
first, face down. See
Printing envelopes from tray 1
.
Labels
NOTE
In either the application or the printer driver, select Labels as the media type, or configure
tray 1 for labels. See
.
●
Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate temperatures of 190° C (374° F) for 0.1 second.
●
Verify that there is no exposed adhesive material between the labels. Exposed areas can cause
labels to peel off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause
damage to printer components.
●
Do not re-feed a sheet of labels.
●
Verify that labels lie flat.
●
Do not use labels that are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.
Heavy paper
●
Any tray will print most heavy media that does not exceed 105 g/m
2
(28 lb bond).
●
Use cardstock (135 g/m
2
to
176 g/m
2
(36 to
47 lb bond)) only in tray 1.
●
In either the software application or the printer driver, select Heavy (106 g/m
2
to 163 g/m
2
(28 to
43 lb bond)) or Cardstock (135 g/m
2
to
176 g/m
2
(36 to
47 lb bond)) as the media type, or print
from a tray that is configured for heavy paper. Because this setting affects all print jobs, it is
important to return the printer back to its original settings once the job has printed. See
