Envelopes

NOTE

Envelopes can be printed only from Tray 1. Set the tray’s media size to the specific envelope size. See Printing envelopes from Tray 1.

Adhere to the following guidelines to help ensure proper printing on envelopes and to help prevent printer jams:

  • Do not load more than 10 envelopes into Tray 1.

  • The weight rating of envelopes should not exceed 90 g/m2 (24 lb bond).

  • Envelopes should be flat.

  • Do not use envelopes with windows or clasps.

  • Envelopes must not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.

  • Envelopes with peel-off adhesive strips must use adhesives that can withstand the heat and pressures of the printer’s fusing process.

  • Envelopes should be loaded face-down with the top of the envelope to the left, and the short edge feeding into the printer first.

NOTE

In high humidity environments, envelopes should be printed long-edge first to prevent them from sealing during printing. For long-edge printing, envelopes should be loaded long edge first, face down. See Printing envelopes from Tray 1 to change the printer driver’s envelope orientation.
