A.9
Double side-seams construction has vertical seams at both
ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style
may be more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all
the way to the corner of the envelope as illustrated below.

Double Side
Seams
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than
one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives
compatible with the heat and pressure in the printer. The
extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing or
jams, and may even damage the fuser.

Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to print quality.
Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an env-
elope, creating an air bubble, then the envelope may wrinkle
during printing. See “Printing on Envelopes” on page 4.11.

Notes:
• For best print quality, position margins no closer than
15 mm (0.6 in.) from the edges of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope
seams meet.
