Handling Paper
Envelopes
This printer prints well on envelopes if you carefully follow these
guidelines:
• Use envelopes made of paper in 75 to 105 g/m2 (20 to 28 pound)
weight. Printing with envelopes made of paper thinner than this
weight may produce wrinkles thus causing decrease in print quality.
• Be sure to set up the rear stacker (or that of the duplex unit when
your printer has the duplex unit) so that envelopes are ejected
straight out the back to minimize curl.
The capacity of the rear stacker is about 20 sheets.
• Use the envelope sizes shown in the preceding table.
• To avoid damage to the printer, never use envelopes with clasps,
snaps, windows, or synthetic materials.
• Feed from the multi-function feeder (MFF). Use the manual feed
slot of the printer if the MFF is removed.
• Feed the envelopes with the gummed side of the flaps facing
downward.
• Do not use “encapsulated” adhesives, which seal by pressure alone.
• To avoid jamming, restrict the minimum paper weight to 64 g/m2
(17 pound).
• To avoid creasing along the edges, use high-quality envelopes with
stiff edges.
• To avoid uneven printing, do not attempt to print on the gummed
overlap areas.
• Be sure to feed or load the envelopes with the envelope centered
against the manual feed slot. Use the guide of the paper sizes.
• Before attempting large-scale printing on envelopes, consult with
your stationery dealer. Also, test the envelopes carefully for
consistent, trouble-free printing.
