Envelopes

Guidelines for Printing Envelopes
• You can print envelopes from any tray that supports the size and type of envelope that you are
using.
• Print quality depends on the quality and construction of the envelopes. Try another envelope brand
if you do not get desired results.
• Maintain constant temperatures and relative humidity.
• Store unused envelopes in their packaging to avoid excess moisture and dryness which can affect
print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive moisture can cause the envelopes to seal before or
during printing.
• Remove air bubbles from the envelopes before loading them into the tray by setting a heavy book
on top of them.
• In the print driver software, select Envelope as the paper type.
• Do not use padded envelopes. Use envelopes that lie flat on a surface.
• Do not use envelopes with heat activated glue.
• Do not use envelopes with press and seal flaps.
• Do not use envelopes with windows, metal clasps, side seams, or adhesives with release strips.
• Use envelopes with diagonal seams, not side seams.
