Paper not supported by this printer
Avoid using the following paper as they are not supported by this printer.
• Paper meant for an ink-jet printer
• Bent, folded, or creased paper
• Curled or twisted paper
• Torn paper
• Wrinkled paper
• Damp paper
• Paper that is dry enough to emit static electricity
• Paper that has already been printed onto, except a preprinted letterhead.
Malfunctions are especially likely when using paper printed on by other than
a laser printer (e.g. monochrome and color copiers, ink-jet printers, etc.)
• Special paper, such as thermal paper, aluminum foil, carbon paper and con-
ductive paper
• Paper whose weight is heavier or lighter than the limitation
• Paper with windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing
Additional cautions
•
Check the print side is facing up.
•
Check there is no air in the envelopes before loading.
•
For better print quality, we recommend the right, left, top, and
bottom print margins to be at least 15 mm (0.6”) each.
•
Load only one size and type of envelope at a time.
•
When loading envelopes, be sure to unfold the flaps and posi-
tion them opposite to the paper feed direction.
•
Before loading envelopes, flatten their leading edges (the edge
going into the printer) by running a pencil or ruler across them.
•
Some kinds of envelope might cause misfeeds, wrinkles or
print poorly.
•
Print quality on envelopes may be uneven if parts of an enve-
lope have differing thicknesses. Print one or two envelopes to
check print quality.
