Media specifications and guidelines
When printing on envelopes:
• Set the Paper Size to MP Feeder Size sub-menu from the control panel , MarkVision
Professional, or the Web page. Set the Paper Type to Envelope in the MP Feeder Type sub-
menu from the control panel , MarkVision Professional, or the Web pages. Select the size
and type from the print driver.
• Use envelopes made from 75 to 105 g/m
2
(20 to 28 lb) bond paper. For best performance and
fewer print media jams, do not use envelopes that:
–
Have excessive curl.
– Are stuck together.
– Are damaged in any way.
– Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts or embossing.
– Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars.
– Have postage stamps attached.
– Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position.
• Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive
curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
• Adjust the right paper guide to fit the width of the envelopes.
• Load envelopes with the flap side down, and position the short edge nearest the return
address to enter the MFP first. See
page 76 of Using and loading the multipurpose feeder
for loading an envelope instructions.
• If you are feeding self-sealing envelopes, open the rear output bin door so envelopes feed
straight out the back of the MFP. The rear output bin holds about 10 envelopes.
Labels
Your MFP can print on many labels designed for use with laser MFPs. These labels are supplied in
letter size and A4 size sheets. 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).
Try a sample of any labels you are considering using with the MFP before purchasing a large
quantity.
When printing on labels:
• Set the Paper Type to Labels from the print driver, MarkVision Professional, the control
panel , or the Web pages.
• Do not load labels together with paper or transparencies in the same paper source.
• Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.
• Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a
jam. Partial sheets also contaminate your MFP and your cartridge with adhesive, and could
void your MFP and cartridge warranties.
• Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 205°C (401°F) without sealing, excessive
curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
• Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 in.) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-
cuts of the label.
