Chapter 3: Paper handling
Load envelopes in the center of the manual feeder or
automatic paper feeder and slide the paper guides
snugly against the sides of the envelopes.
When printing on envelopes:
• Try a sample of any envelopes you are
considering using with the printer before buying
large quantities.
• Use envelopes made from 75 to 105 g/m
2
(20 to
28 lb) bond paper. For best performance and
fewer paper jams, do not use envelopes that:
– have excessive curl
– are stuck together
– are damaged in any way
– contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts
or embossing
– use metal clasps, string ties or metal folding
bars
– have postage stamps attached
– have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in
the sealed position
• Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures
of 190°C (374°F) without sealing, excessive
curling, wrinkling or releasing hazardous
emissions.
