•
Use only new, undamaged envelopes.
•
For best performance and to minimize jams, 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
•
Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 170°C (338°F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or
releasing hazardous emissions. If you have any doubts about the envelopes you are considering using, check with
the envelope supplier.
•
Adjust the width guide to fit the width of the envelopes.
•
Load only one size of envelope at a time in the tray. Envelopes may only be loaded in the standard tray. Load them
with the flap down and the flap to the left of the tray.
•
A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and the high printing temperatures may seal the envelopes.
•
Use only envelopes with a flap that covers where the seams come together. For examples, see below.
