Printing Methods
Envelopes
Most envelopes designed for laser printers will be suitable for your machine. However, some envelopes may
have feed and print-quality problems because of the way they have been made. A suitable envelope should
have edges with straight, well-creased folds. The envelope should lie flat and not be of baggy or flimsy
construction. You should buy quality envelopes from a supplier who understands that you will be using the
envelopes in a laser machine.
We recommend that you print a test envelope to make sure the print results are what you want.
Types of envelopes to avoid
IMPORTANT
DO NOT use envelopes:
• that are damaged, curled, wrinkled, irregularly shaped, extremely shiny or textured envelopes.
• with clasps, staples, snaps, tie strings, self-adhesive components, windows, holes, cutouts or
perforations.
• that are of a baggy construction, not sharply creased, embossed (have raised writing on them) or pre-
printed on the inside.
• that were previously printed by a laser / LED printer.
• that cannot be arranged when put in a pile.
• that are made of paper that weighs more than the paper weight specifications for the machine.
• with edges that are not straight or consistently square.
• with glue on surface as shown in figure below
• with double flaps
• with each side folded as shown in figure below
If you use any of the types of envelopes listed above, they may damage your machine. This damage may
not be covered under any Brother warranty or service agreement.
