Envelope
Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the enve-
lopes.
To print an envelope, place it flap side up with the stamp area bottom the
top right side.
• When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:
- Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed
2
90 g/m otherwise, jam may occur.
- Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less
than a 7 mm curl and should not contain air.
- Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, either dam-
aged.
- Temperature: Use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and
pressure of the machine during operation.
• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp-and well-creased folds.
• Do not use stamped envelopes.
• Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining,
self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.
• Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
• Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to
the corner of the envelope.
