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.
l
Load an envelope with the flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side. The end of the envelope with the stamp area enters the Multi-
l
purpose Feeder first.
See "Using the Multi-purpose Feeder"
NOTE: A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and high printing temperatures may seal the envelopes.
Labels
Your printer can print on many labels designed for use with laser printers. These labels are supplied in letter-, A4-, and legal-size sheets. Label adhesives, face
sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be able to withstand temperatures up to 195° C (383° F) and pressure up to 25 pounds per square inch (psi). You
can load one label sheet at a time in the Multi-purpose Feeder.
Try a sample of any label you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a large quantity:
Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam. Partial sheets also contaminate your printer and your
l
cartridge with adhesive, and could void your printer and cartridge warranties.
Use labels that can withstand temperatures up to 195° C (383° F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
l
Do not print within 0.04 in. (1 mm) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts of the label.
l
Do not use label sheets that have adhesive up to the edge of the sheet. We recommend zone coating of the adhesive at least 0.04 in. (1 mm) away
l
from edges. Adhesive material contaminates your printer and could void your warranty.
If zone coating of the adhesive is not possible, a 0.125-in. (3-mm) strip should be removed on the leading and driver edge, and replaced with a non-oozing
l
adhesive.
Remove a 0.125-in. (3-mm) strip from the leading edge to prevent labels from peeling inside the printer.
l
Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.
l
Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive.

Card Stock

Card stock is single ply and has a large array of properties, such as moisture content, thickness, and texture, that can significantly affect print quality. See
"Identifying Print Media Sources and Specifications"
Try a sample of any card stock you are considering using with the printer before purchasing a large quantity:
Be aware that preprinting, perforation, and creasing can significantly affect the print quality causing print media handling or jamming problems.
l
Avoid using card stock that may release hazardous emissions when heated.
l
Do not use preprinted card stock manufactured with chemicals that may contaminate the printer. Preprinting introduces semi-liquid and volatile
l
components into the printer.
We recommend the use of long grain card stock.
