How To Print An Envelope?

• Feed envelopes from the manual feeder or optional multipurpose feeder.

• Set the Paper Type to Envelope, and select the envelope size.

• Use envelopes designed specifically for laser printers. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to ensure the

envelopes can withstand temperatures up to 200°C (392°F) without sealing, wrinkling, curling excessively, or

releasing hazardous emissions.

• For the best performance, use envelopes made from 60 g/m2 (16 lb bond) paper. Use up to 105 g/m2 (28 lb bond)

weight for envelopes as long as the cotton content is 25% or less. All-cotton envelopes must not exceed

90 g/m2 (24 lb bond) weight.

• Use only new envelopes.

• To optimize performance and minimize jams, do not use envelopes that:

– Have excessive curl or twist

– Are stuck together or damaged in any way

– Have windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing

– Have metal clasps, string ties, or 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 bent corners

– Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes

• Adjust the width guides to fit the width of the envelopes.

Note: A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and the high printing temperature may wrinkle or seal envelopes.
