Printing on Special Paper
Adjusting the paper thickness lever
Multipart forms
Envelopes
Your printer can also print on a wide variety of paper types, including multipart forms and envelopes.
For multipart forms, you should not print any closer than 13 mm (0.5 inch) from either side of the paper. For information on
the recommended printable area of envelopes, see
Caution:
When printing on multipart forms, thicker-than-normal paper or envelopes, make sure your application
software settings keep the printing entirely within the recommended printable area. Printing past the edge of
these papers can damage the print head.
