Printing Methods

Envelopes 1
Most envelopes designed for laser printers will be suitable for your machine. However, some envelopes may
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. 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.
We recommend that you print a test envelope to make sure the print results are what you want.
