Types of envelopes
Side-opening envelopes
*1 You cannot load side-opening envelopes in the landscape orientation in Trays 2–4.
When loading envelopes, use both User Tools and the printer driver to select "Envelope" as the paper
type and specify the thickness of the envelopes. For details, see p.65 "Printing on Envelopes", Printer.
To print on envelopes that are loaded with their short edges against the printer body, rotate the print
image by 180 degrees using the printer driver.
Recommended envelopes
For information about recommended envelopes, contact your local dealer.
The size of envelopes that you can load depends on the tray in which you load them. For details,
see p.33 "Supported Paper for Each Input Tray".
• Load only one size and type of envelope at a time.
• The Duplex function cannot be used with envelopes.
• To achieve better output quality, it is recommended that you set the right, left, top, and bottom print
margin to at least 15 mm (0.6 inches) each.
• The output quality on envelopes may be uneven if parts of an envelope have differing thicknesses.
Print one or two envelopes to check the print quality.
• When printing onto envelopes, the print speed is slower than usual.
• Printed sheets are delivered to the internal tray even if you specified a different tray.
• Flatten out prints if they are creased or curled.
• Check that the envelopes are not damp.
• High temperature and high humidity conditions can reduce print quality and cause envelopes to
become creased.
• Depending on the environment, printing on envelopes may wrinkle them even if they are
recommended.
