Envelopes
Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between
manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on envelopes
depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following
components:
●
Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 105 g/m
2
(28 lb) or jamming might
occur.
●
Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 inch) curl,
and should not contain air.
●
Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.
●
Temperature: Use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and pressure of the printer.
●
Size: Use only envelopes that are within the following size ranges:
●
Minimum: 76 x 127 mm (3 x 5 inches)
●
Maximum: 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches)
NOTE Use only Tray 1 to print on envelopes. Some jams might occur when using any media
with a length less than 178 mm (7 inches). This might be caused by paper that has been
affected by environmental conditions. For optimum performance, make sure to store and
handle the paper correctly. Select envelopes in the printer driver.
