envelopes.

6 mm curl, and should not contain air.
-Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, either damaged.
-Te
mperature: Use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and
pressure of the machine during operation.
• U
se only well-constructed envelopes with sharp-and well-creased folds.
• D
o not use stamped envelopes.
• D
o not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining,
self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.
• D

the corner of the envelope.
