Envelopes
You can print many types of envelopes with your printer. Some envelope
styles perform better than others because their construction is better suited
to feeding through a laser printer.
Envelope Construction
• Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed a 28 lb
(105 g/m
2
) rating or jamming may result.
• Construction: Envelopes should lie flat with less than 0.25 in (6 mm)
curl.
• Manufacture: Make sure envelopes are not wrinkled, nicked, or
otherwise damaged.
• Sizes: See “Printing an Envelope from the MP Tray” in Chapter 3
for sizes.
Envelopes with Adhesive Strips or Flaps
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that
folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the heat and pressure
of the fusing rollers in the printer. The extra flaps and strips may result in
wrinkling or creasing, and may cause jamming.
Caution
Never use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, self-stick
adhesives, or other synthetic materials. These items can severely damage
your printer. Never try to print on both sides of an envelope. Jamming and
printer damage can result.
Before you load envelopes in your MP Tray, check to make sure they are
regular in shape and undamaged. It’s a good idea to run a pen or pencil
down the leading edge to flatten them before you insert them in the MP
Tray. Also, check to see that the envelopes are not stuck together.
