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 in the device: 200°C (392°F). The extra flaps and
strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams.
Envelope storage
Proper storage of envelopes contributes to good print quality. You should store envelopes flat. If air
is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, the envelope might wrinkle during printing.
Card stock and heavy media
You can print many types of card stock from the input tray, including index cards and postcards.
Some card stock performs better than others because its construction is better suited for feeding
through a laser printer.
For optimum performance, do not use paper heavier than 157 g/m
2
(42 lb). Paper that is too heavy
might cause misfeeds, stacking problems, jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality, or excessive
mechanical wear.
NOTE You might be able to print on heavier paper if you do not fill the input tray to capacity
and if you use paper with a smoothness rating of 100-180 Sheffield.
In either the software program or the printer driver, select Heavy (106 g/m
2
to 163 g/m
2
; 28- to 43-lb
bond) or Cardstock (135 g/m
2
to 216 g/m
2
; 50- to 80-lb cover) as the media type, or print from a tray
that is configured for heavy paper. Because this setting affects all print jobs, it is important to return
the device back to its original settings after the job has printed.
