Envelope Feeding Guidelines and Limitations
 Other size envelopes can be used, but performance is not guaranteed.
 Envelopes should be loaded in the feed direction shown in the table above, and must be run simplex only.
 The recommended tray for printing envelopes is the Bypass Tray – Tray 5. Recommended capacity is 30-40 envelopes. Capacity may vary based on envelope
type and manufacturer.
 Tray 6 or Tray 7 can be used if the Postcard Bracket is mounted and the stack height is limited to no more than 100 envelopes. Capacity may vary based on
envelope type and manufacturer.
 Always load envelopes with the flaps closed and flaps faced down.
 When loading SEF, place the flaps facing the front of the press;
When loading LEF, place the flaps facing the lead edge.
 When submitting your print file, select a custom paper as the Paper Type and enter the dimensions of the envelope. The Width is measured from the lead
edge to the trail edge of the envelope. This means that if you are loading the envelope SEF, you should enter the long dimension of the envelope as the
Width. If you are loading the envelope LEF, you should enter the short dimension of the envelope as the Width.
 Enter a heavy weight for the media, such as 176 gsm or greater for 24lb envelopes. Best results will vary based on envelope type and manufacturer.
 Select the Bypass Tray as the Paper Source.
 Do not use padded envelopes.
 Store unused envelopes in their original packaging to avoid the excess moisture or dryness which can affect print quality and cause wrinkling. Excessive
moisture can cause the envelopes to seal before or during printing.
 Some wrinkling or embossing may occur when printing on envelopes. Successful envelope printing depends on the quality and construction of the envelopes.
Try another envelope brand if problems occur.
 Greater image registration variance may be experienced on envelopes.
 Removal of the envelopes from the top tray is recommended to minimize poor stack quality and possible jams.
 Envelopes can only be output to the OCT or the top tray of the Standard finishers.
