envelopes
When loading envelopes, select "Envelope" as the paper types using both [Tray Paper Settings]
and printer driver and specify the thickness of envelopes. For details, see page 111 "Printing on
Envelopes".
To print on envelopes that are loaded with their short edges against the machine body, rotate the
print image by 180 degrees using the printer driver.
Recommended envelopes
For information about recommended envelopes, contact your local dealer.
For details about the sizes of envelopes you can load, see page 153 "Recommended Paper Sizes
and Types".
• Load only one size and type of envelope at a time.
• The Duplex function cannot be used with envelopes.
• To get better output quality, it is recommended that you set the right, left, top, and bottom print
margin, to at least 15 mm (0.6 inches) each.
• Output quality on envelopes may be uneven if parts of an envelope have differing thicknesses. Print
one or two envelopes to check print quality.
• Copied or printed sheets are delivered to the internal tray even if you specified a different tray.
• Flatten out prints if they are creased or curled.
• Check the envelopes are not damp.
• High temperature and high humidity conditions can reduce print quality and cause envelopes to
become creased.
• Depending on the environment, copying or printing on envelopes may wrinkle them even if they
are recommended.
