Printing Envelopes
Envelopes can be printed only from Tray 1 (MPT).
Guidelines
■
Use only paper envelopes specified in the Supported Paper Sizes and Weights table. Successful
envelope printing is highly dependent on the quality and construction of the envelopes. Use envelopes
made specifically for laser printers.
■
It is recommended that you maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
■
Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid the effects of moisture and dryness which can affect
print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the envelopes to seal before or during
printing.
■
Avoid padded envelopes; purchase envelopes that lie flat on a surface.
■
Remove air bubbles from the envelopes before loading by setting a heavy book on top of the envelopes.
■
If wrinkling or embossing problems occur, use a different brand of envelopes made specifically for
laser printers.
Note:
Never use envelopes with windows or metal clasps; they can damage the printer.
