Double side-seam construction has vertical seams at both ends
of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style may be
more likely to wrinkle. Insure the seam extends all the way to
the corner of the envelope as illustrated below.
Envelopes with Double
Side Seams
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one
flap that folds over must use adhesive compatible with the heat
and pressure in the printer. The extra flaps and strips may cause
wrinkling, creasing, or even jams and may even damage the
fuser.

The following gives typical address margins for a commercial
#10 or DL envelope.
Envelope Margins
Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to print quality.
Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope,
creating an air bubble, then the envelope may wrinkle during
printing. See “Printing on Envelopes” on page 4.7.

Notes:
• For best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm
(0.6 in.) from the edges of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams
meet.
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
• Adhesive: The adhesive material should be stable at
200 °C (392 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature.
• Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing
between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces
between the labels, causing jams.
• Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than
13 mm (.5 in.) of curl in any direction.
• Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other
indications of separation.
See “Printing on Labels” on page 4.10.
Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand
200 °C (392 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature.
See “Printing on Transparencies” on page 4.11.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the printer, use only
transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.
CAUTIONS:
• To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels
recommended for laser printers.
• To prevent jams, always use the face-up output slot.
• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once or
print on a partial sheet of labels.
