Envelopes
The printer accepts the following standard envelope
sizes:
•
Monarch 3.875 in. x 7.5 in. (98.4 mm x 190.5 mm)
•
Commercial 10 4.125 in. x 9.5 in. (105 mm x 241
mm)
•
DL 110 mm x 220 mm (4.33 in. x 8.66 in.)
•
C5 162 mm x 229 mm (6.38 in. x 9.02 in.)
•
B5 176 mm x 250 mm (6.93 in. x 9.84 in.)
NEC has tested Eaton 25% cotton (20 lb. diagonal
seamed) and obtained satisfactory results.
Note: NEC neither warrants nor recommends the
use of any particular envelope and the user assumes
all responsibility for the quality and performance of
the envelopes selected.
The leading edge of an envelope that feeds into the
printer must be straight. The fold must be firmly
creased and be no thicker than two paper thicknesses.
As a rule, the larger the envelope, the more difficult it
is to feed properly.
The base weight of envelope paper must be 20 lbs. (75
g/m
). Commercial envelopes, called regular or
2
business envelopes, are the most widely used and are
probably the most reliable for your printing needs.
Neither envelopes with peel-off adhesive strips nor
envelopes that are heavily embossed feed well. Avoid
heavily textured or coated envelopes.

In addition, avoid
•
envelopes with snaps, clasps, tie strings,
cellophane windows, or curved or thick leading
paper edges. They do not feed consistently.
•
envelopes composed with glues, inks, and
adhesives that could discolor, scorch, or melt when
heat is applied.
•
adhesives that generate harmful emissions at
temperatures greater than 392°F (200°C for 0.1
second.
•
envelopes made with recycled paper.
•
envelopes that use an adhesive that relies on
pressure for sealing.
•
envelopes that have already been through the
printer once. Do not feed envelopes into the printer
a second time.
•
envelope seams that do not have a continuous and
even glue line (excluding the envelope flap).
Adhesive Labels
Adhesive labels consist of a top (print surface) sheet,
an adhesive layer, and a liner (peel-away backing). The
top sheet is usually xerographic paper and must meet
the general specifications for that kind of paper. The
liner must be coated for easy release of the top sheet
and adhesive layer, particularly after being subjected
to print head heat.
