• Adjust the guide to fit the width of the envelopes.
• To load an envelope into the single sheet feeder, insert the envelope with the
flaps closed and the short-edge of the envelope facing into the printer. The
print side must be facing down.
• See "Loading Envelopes in the Standard 250-Sheet Tray and Optional 250-
Sheet Feeder" or "Loading an Envelope in the SSF" for instructions on
loading an envelope.
• Use one envelope size during a print job.
• Ensure that the humidity is low because high humidity (more than 60 %) and
the high printing temperatures may seal the envelopes.
• For best performance, do not use envelopes that:
–
Have excessive curl or twist
– Are stuck together or damaged in any way
– Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing
– Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal 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 nicked edges or bent corners
– Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes
Labels
Your printer can print on many labels designed only for use with laser printers.
When selecting labels:
• Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be able to
withstand temperatures of 205 °C (401 °F) and pressure of 25 pounds per
square inch (psi).
• Use labels that can be without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or
releasing hazardous emissions.
• Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.
