Envelopes
Envelopes can be printed only from Tray 1. Set the tray’s media size to the specific envelope size. For
information about loading envelopes, see the section in the online user guide about loading
envelopes into Tray 1.
Adhering to the following guidelines will help ensure proper printing on envelopes and help prevent
printer jams:
● Do not load more than 20 envelopes into Tray 1.
● The weight rating of envelopes should not exceed 105 g/m
2
(28 lb).
● 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 and with the postage end feeding into the printer first.
CAUTION To prevent severe printer damage, do not use envelopes that have windows, clasps, snaps, or synthetic
materials.
Labels
Note To print labels, set the tray’s media type to LABELS in the printer control panel.
When printing labels, use the following guidelines:
● Verify that the label’s adhesive material can tolerate temperatures of 190° C (374° F) for 0.1
second.
● Verify that adhesive material is not exposed between the labels. Exposed areas can cause labels
to peel off during printing, which can cause printer jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause
damage to printer components.
● Do not re-feed a sheet of labels.
● Verify that labels lie flat.
● Do not use labels that are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.
Preprinted forms and letterhead
Observe the following guidelines for best results with preprinted forms and letterhead:
● Forms and letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant inks that will not melt, vaporize, or
release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of
approximately 190° C (374° F) for 0.1 second.
● Inks must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect any printer rollers.
● Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during
storage.
● Before you load preprinted paper such as forms and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is
dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off of preprinted paper.
● When duplex printing, load preprinted forms and letterhead into Tray 2 and Tray 3 with the front of
the page facing down and the top edge of the page towards the back of the printer. Load
preprinted forms and letterhead into Tray 1 with the front of the page facing up and the bottom
edge feeding into the printer first.
