Envelope Orientation and Recommended
Status
The way to place an original on the exposure glass and load envelopes varies depending on the shape
and orientation of the envelopes.
• Do not print on the following envelopes:
• Window envelopes
• Envelopes with moisture
Before setting envelopes
• Before loading envelopes, press down on them to remove any air from inside and flatten out
all four edges. If they are bent or curled, flatten their leading edges (the edge going into the
machine) by running a pencil or ruler across them.
• For information about recommended envelopes, contact your local dealer.
• The Duplex function cannot be used with envelopes.
• Set the margins on the top, bottom, left and right to be 15 mm or more so as to print with adequate
quality.
• An image may not be printed clearly on a sheet whose thickness is uneven. Print a few sheets and
check the result.
• The printing result may not be adequate or the envelope may become wrinkled when the
temperature or humidity is high.
• The printing result may not be adequate or output envelopes may become wrinkled depending on
the printing environment even when using the recommended envelopes.
• When printing onto paper other than an envelope after printing onto several envelopes, you may
have to wait about one minute until printing starts to allow the machine to make adjustments.
