Envelopes
Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the
envelopes.
To print on an envelope, the stamp area should be on the left side and the
end of the envelope with the stamp area should enter the printer first in the
center of the tray.

•
When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:
-
Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed
90 g/m
-
Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less
than 6 mm ( 0.24 inch.) of curl, and should not contain air.
-
Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, either
damaged.
-
Temperature: Use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and
pressure of the machine during operation.
•
Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp-and well-creased folds.
•
Do not use stamped envelopes.
•
Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining,
self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.
•
Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
•
Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to
the corner of the envelope.
•
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that
folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the machine's
fusing temperature about 170°C (338 °F) for 0.1 second. The extra flaps
and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even
damage the fuser.
•
For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm ( 0.59
inch.) from the edges of the envelope.
•
Avoid printing over the area where the envelope's seams meet.
