• Weight guidelines for pre-punched paper are the same as non-punched paper.
Recommended Envelopes
Depending on the envelopes, it is possible to expect variable levels of wrinkling.
• Use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for use in laser printers.
• Set the print media source to the bypass tray. Set the paper type to Envelope, and
select the correct size of envelope from the printer driver.
• Use envelopes made from 75 g/m
(28 lb bond) weight for the envelope feeder as long as the cotton content is 25 % or
less. Envelopes with 100 % cotton content must not exceed 90 g/m
weight.
• Use only freshly unpackaged, undamaged envelopes.
• Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 205 °C (401 °F) without sealing,
excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
• Use one envelope size during a print job.
• Ensure that the humidity is low because high humidity (more than 60 %) and the high
printing temperatures may seal the envelopes.
• For best performance, do not use envelopes that:
– Have excessive curl or twist
– Are stuck together or damaged in any way
– Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing
– Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars
– Have an interlocking design
– Have postage stamps attached
– Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position
– Have nicked edges or bent corners
– Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes
Recommended Labels
• Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be able to withstand
temperatures of 205 °C (401 °F) and pressure of 173 kPa (25 psi).
• Use labels that can be without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing
hazardous emissions.
• Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.
When printing on labels:
• Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 205 °C (401 °F) without sealing,
excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
• Set the paper type to Label in the printer driver.
• Load labels in the bypass tray.
• Do not load labels together with paper in the bypass tray.
• Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inches) of the die-cut.
• Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inches) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or
between die-cuts of the label.
• Do not print a label through the printer more than once.
