2. Menu Overview and Basic Setup
•
When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:
-
Weight:
should not exceed 90 g/m
2
otherwise; jams may occur.
-
Construction:
should lie flat with less than 6 mm curl and should not
contain air.
-
Condition:
should not be wrinkled, nicked, nor damaged.
-
Temperature:
should resist the heat and pressure of the machine
during operation.
•
Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and well-creased folds.
•
Do not use stamped envelopes.
•
Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, self-
adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.

Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to the

•
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that
folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the machine’s fusing
temperature for 0.1 second about 170°C (338 °F). The extra flaps and strips
might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even damage the fuser.
•
For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm from the
edges of the envelope.
•
Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
