Using Media Other Than Paper
Caution
:
Although your printer was designed for occasional printing on a wide range
of media types, it is not intended to print exclusively on a single media type except
plain paper. Continuous printing on media other than plain paper (such as envelopes,
glossy stock, labels, thick stock, transfer media, or transparencies) may adversely
affect print quality or reduce engine life.
»Note:
For media other than standard plain paper or transparencies, the driver (Paper
tab, Media Type option) needs to be selected to tell the printer that thick stock is
loaded.
»Note:
Duplexing is only supported on plain paper and limited thick stock.
Using Envelopes
Formatting
Your printer receives the instructions to print on envelopes from your
application.
Print on the front side only. Some parts of the envelope consist of three
layers of paper—the front, back, and flap. Anything printed in these
layered regions may be lost or faded.
See your application documentation for specific information on printing
envelopes.
