Only the front side of envelopes can be printed on. Be sure to place the front side face down.
When loading envelopes, load one envelope at a time.
Important points when using envelopes
Envelopes that cannot be used
Do not use the following envelopes. Envelopes misfeed, and smudges may result.
• Envelopes with metal clasps
• Plastic hooks, or ribbon hooks
• Envelopes closed with string
• Envelopes with windows or backing
• Envelopes with an uneven front surface due to embossing
• Double-layer envelopes
• Envelopes with an adhesive for sealing
• Hand-made envelopes
• Envelopes with air inside
• Envelopes with creases, fold marks, torn or damaged envelopes
• Envelopes with an incorrectly aligned corner gluing position on the back cannot be used as creasing may result.
Print quality on envelopes
• Print quality is not guaranteed in the area 13/32" (10 mm) around the edges of the envelope.
• Print quality is not guaranteed on parts of envelopes where there is a large step-like change of thickness, such as on
four-layer parts or parts less than three layers.
• Print quality is not guaranteed on envelopes having peel off flaps for sealing the envelopes.
• Do not print on both sides of an envelope. This may result in misfeeds or poor print quality.
• Some operating environments may cause creasing, smudging, misfeeds, poor toner fusing, or machine failure.
Restrictions apply to some types of envelopes. For more information, consult a qualified service technician.
