Dell 3130cn Color Laser Printer - Manual (Page 95)

Use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for use in laser printers.
Set the print media source to the MPF. Set the paper type to Envelope, and select the correct size of envelope
from the printer driver.
For best performance, use envelopes made from 75 g/m 2 (20 lb bond) paper. You can use up to 105 g/m 2 (28 lb
bond) weight for the envelope feeder as long as the cotton content is 25% or less. Envelopes with 100% cotton
content must not exceed 90 g/m
2
(24 lb bond) weight.
Use only freshly unpackaged, undamaged envelopes.
Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or
releasing hazardous emissions. If you have any doubts about the envelopes you are considering, check with the
envelope supplier.
Adjust the guide to fit the width of the envelopes.
To load envelope in the MPF, insert the envelopes with the flaps closed and the short-edge of the envelopes facing
into the printer. The print side must be facing down.
See " Loading the MPF " for instructions on loading an envelope.
Use one envelope size during a print job.
Ensure the humidity is low because high humidity (more than 60%) and the high printing temperatures may seal
the envelopes.
For best performance, do not use envelopes that:
Have excessive curl or twist
Are stuck together or damaged in any way
Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, embossing
Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars
Have an interlocking design
Have postage stamps attached
Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position
Have nicked edges or bent corners
Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes
Labels
Your printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers. Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock),
and topcoats must be able to withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) and pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi).
It is recommended that you try a sample first before buying large quantities of any print media.
When printing on labels:
Set the paper type to Label from the printer driver.
Do not load labels together with paper in the same tray. This may result in a jam.
Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.
Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inches) of the die cut.
Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam. Partial sheets
also contaminate your printer and your cartridge with adhesive, and could void your printer and cartridge
warranties.
Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or
releasing hazardous emissions.
