When printing on envelopes:
To achieve the best possible print quality, use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for use in
laser printers.
Set the Paper Source in the Paper Menu to MP Feeder, Manual Env, or Env Feeder depending on the
source you are using, set the paper type to Envelope, and select the correct envelope size from the
operator panel or the printer driver.
For best performance, use envelopes made from 75 g/m
2
g/m (28 lb bond) weight for the multipurpose feeder or 105 g/m
envelope feeder as long as the cotton content is 25% or less. Envelopes with 100% cotton content
must not exceed 90 g/m
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 205°C (401°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 envelopes with the flap side down, and position the short edge nearest the return address to
enter the printer first for the multipurpose feeder.
