Envelopes
Most envelopes will be suitable for your
machine. However, some envelopes will
have feed and print-quality problems
because of the way they have been made. A
suitable envelope should have edges with
straight, well-creased folds and the leading
edge should not be thicker than two pieces of
paper. The envelope should lie flat and not be
of baggy or flimsy construction. You should
buy quality envelopes from a supplier who
understands that you will be using the
envelopes in a laser machine.
Envelopes can only be fed from Tray#1.
Note
We will not recommend a particular envelope
because envelope manufacturers may
change the envelope specifications. You are
responsible for the quality and performance
of the envelopes you use.
Before you put envelopes in the tray, check
the following:
■ Envelopes should have a lengthwise
sealing flap.
■ The sealing flaps should be folded crisply
and correctly (irregularly cut or folded
envelopes may cause paper jams).
■ Envelopes should consist of two layers of
paper in the area circled in Figure 1.
Note
■ Before you print envelopes, you must ‘fan’
the stack to avoid paper jams and
misfeeds.
■ Before you print a lot of envelopes, test
one to make sure that the print results are
what you want.
■ Envelope joints that are sealed by the
manufacturer should be secure.
■ Do not put different types of paper in the
paper tray at the same time because it
may cause paper jams or misfeeds.
■ For proper printing, you must choose the
same paper size from your software
application as the paper in the tray.
■ We recommend that you do not print
within 0.6 in. (15 mm) of the edges of
envelopes.
■ See Acceptable paper and other media on
page 2-1.
