PRINTING ON SPECIAL MEDIA
The table below shows the available special media for each tray.
When using special media, we recommend you feed one paper at a
time. Check the maximum input number of media for each tray. (See
"Print media specifications" on page 148.)
Envelope
Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the
envelopes.
To print an envelope, place it flap side down with the stamp area on the top
left side.
If you need to do the printing job with a wrinkled envelopes, open the rear
cover. And push the pressure lever on each side down.
•
When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:
-
Weight :
The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed
90 g/m
2
otherwise, jam may occur.
-
Construction :
Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less
than 6 mm curl, and should not contain air.
-
Condition :
Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, either
damaged.
-
Temperature :
Use envelopes that are compatible with 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.
•
Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
•
Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to
the corner of the envelope.

•
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. To view the fusing temperature,
check your machine’s specification. (See "General specifications" on
page 144.) 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.
