Printing on Envelopes, Transparencies,
and Custom-size (Long) Paper
Take care when selecting the settings for envelopes, because choosing them incorrectly may result in
printed side or text direction errors.
When printing on transparencies or specialty paper, make sure that you select the type of paper in the
printer driver setting and image quality before sending the print command.
When frequently printing specialty paper in Windows
®
, we recommend that you register the
necessary settings in the User Settings tab.
Registering the settings saves you time, because you will not need to configure the driver each time
you print. For details about the User Settings tab, see Help.
Printing on Envelopes
Use the multi-purpose tray to print envelopes.
Open the envelope flaps before feeding and load as illustrated below. You can use Com-10, Monarch,
C5 and DL envelopes.
■ Do not use envelopes with tape seals. Printing on some types of pre-glued envelopes may not
be possible, depending on the condition of the adhesive. We recommend using envelopes
designed for laser printers.
■ Do not use envelopes larger than 90 mm (3.5 in.) wide and 140 mm (5.5 in.) long.
■ Using poor-quality envelopes can cause creasing and deteriorate print quality.
Most envelopes will perform acceptably on your printer. However, some envelopes will have feeding
and print quality problems because of their construction. A suitable envelope should have edges with
straight, well creased folds and should not have more than two thicknesses of paper along the
leading edge. The envelope should lie flat and not be of baggy or flimsy construction. Purchase
quality envelopes only from a supplier who understands that the envelopes will be used in a laser
printer. All envelopes should be tested prior to use to ensure desirable print results.
The following is an example of how to print the address on an envelope.
